Grad 2025 - Updated May 6
Graduating Class of 2025
The culmination of twelve years of education is a special time in the lives of students, parents, and staff. We recognize this is an important passage and an occasion to be marked with two events. Direct Inquiries can be made to falcongrad@gm.fsd38.ab.ca
Overview
The first event is our Foothills Composite High School 2025 Graduating Ceremony. This event celebrates the academic achievement of students and the completion of twelve years of schooling. This ceremony and celebration are part of the grad fee.
The second event is a formal Banquet & Dance held at the BMO Centre for students, their guests, and/or family members. Some students choose to organize with friends. Other students organize and invite family.
