A Salute to Our 2025 Graduating Classes!

Congratulations and recognition is extended to all Coast Mountains’ learners — from our youngest students entering Kindergarten to those moving through Elementary and Middle School — and particularly our graduating Grade 12 students.  

High School graduation is a major milestone and a testament to each student’s dedication, perseverance, and growth.  Graduation is a celebration and recognition of all that learners have accomplished during their school experience, and they should be proud of their efforts.  Graduation Ceremonies is also a special time for those family members, friends and other essential allies who have supported our graduates up to this point in their lives.  Thank you, too, for your care and commitment over the years.  

To all our Graduates: Congratulations!  We are incredibly proud of you.  We wish you all the best as you take your next steps into post-secondary studies, the workforce, or wherever your dreams may lead you.
