Graduation Gala
Save the Date! Grad Gala will be on Saturday, March 15, 2025 at the Paradox Hotel (1161 W Georgia St). Ticket prices will be announced when tickets go on sale in the spring – we are working hard to fundraise and ensure as accessible a price point as possible for all students. We would love to see and celebrate with our whole grad class there!

Grad Photos
Photos will be taken through Evangelos Photography (Booking link: https://evangelosphotography.com/).Taking the traditional grad photo session is FREE. Your photo will be included in the yearbook and the class composite, even if you don’t purchase any photos. If you don’t get your photo taken, you’ll be listed in the “Not Photographed” section.If you wish to take additional photos – for example, in an outfit other than the grad gown, or with your pet or family members – Evangelos will require a $45 CASH deposit (refundable; you’ll have 30 days to decide whether to purchase photos).Evangelos has also provided a helpful informative document about their appointments and studio, which can be viewed HERE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vJ6RePG-MT_kq8GlyZ2Qu66RLoXPwjMW/view?usp=sharing.Please book ASAP: the deadline for graduates to be photographed is March 14, 2025. This is a hard deadline: we will not be able to accommodate photos past that date.
