Graduation Requirements
Preparations are being made for our very first graduating class and commencement. The graduation ceremony will take place from 9am-12pm on May 28, 2025 at the BMO Centre. The evening reception will be held on the same day and location from 7-11pm. In order to participate in the ceremony, students must have 75 credits at the end of Semester 1 and have all of their fees paid. In February, administration will post a graduation list that will confirm which students have met these criteria. Students with outstanding fees will be asked to create a plan with the business office to ensure that their fees are fully paid before they are added to the graduation list. In anticipation of this date, please log in to your MyCBE account to ensure that your account is up to date. Check the Nighthawk News and/or your email for more grad information in the upcoming month.
Fine Arts Showcase | Wednesday December 11 and Thursday December 12
The North Trail High School Fine Arts, CTS, and Languages programs are excited to share all their learning from semester 1 in their upcoming showcase. Both evenings will include a free gallery from 5:30pm-6:30pm, showcasing student work from art, global languages, and various CTS courses. On Wednesday December 11, we will feature performances from our music program, while on Thursday December 12, we will feature performances from the drama and dance programs. Tickets to the performances are being sold through student performers. We look forward to sharing our cumulative work with our North Trail community!
Parking
With the recent cold weather and snowfall, parking has been at a premium. All of our student spaces have been assigned for the school year. If you do not have a parking pass, please do not park in someone else's spot. It creates a domino effect of people not being able to access stalls. Students, please do not park in visitor parking or in the staff parking lot.
