Today, we proudly celebrate the achievements of our 2026 SCDSB Adult and Continuing Education graduates!

Our graduates bring a rich diversity of experiences, perspectives, cultures, and aspirations to our learning community. While each journey has been unique, every graduate has demonstrated resilience, commitment, and courage in reaching this important milestone.

Whether returning to school after many years, balancing personal, family, and work responsibilities, adapting to life in a new community, or pursuing new goals and opportunities, our graduates have shown what is possible through lifelong learning.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! We are honoured to have been part of your educational journey and are inspired by all that you have accomplished. We look forward to seeing where your next chapter leads.
