The Quebec High School graduation ceremony took place virtually this year for the second year in a row, with the event recorded and watched online by graduates’ relatives and friends. Only students, teachers and staff were present as the class of 2021 received their diplomas and awards for all their efforts over the past year. “This year ended as it started; parents and families invited us into their homes and we invited them into our classrooms,” said principal Warren Thomson. “With an amazing amount of trust, teamwork and Presenting the Quebec High School class of 2021 collaboration, the class of 2021 accomplished an incredible feat. I am confident that they are well prepared to take on the future challenges this uncertain world will throw at us. They proved that they can adapt to change and now I am certain they will be the ones pushing for it in the future, for the better.”
