'Twas the night before commencement, in Elkford Secondary's sight,
Excitement in the air, as we gear up for the grand night.
The arena is hosting, a magical event to behold,
Where dreams take flight, and memories are worth more than gold.

Pride is flowing from the staff, grads hard work shining bright,
Guiding students to success, with all their might.
Caps and gowns ready, for graduates soon to walk the stage,
Cheers and applause, as they turn the final page.

Families beaming with joy, hearts filled with love so true,
Years of dedication and growth, finally breaking through.
The night before commencement, a time for celebration and cheer,
As Elkford Secondary's finest take their next step, without fear.

So let's send positivity to all, for the journey that's been told,
For the moments shared, for the memories bold.
On this special eve, let's cherish every sight,
'Twas the night before commencement, a symbol of pure delight.

Congratulations to all the graduates of Elkford Secondary!

Come celebrate! 10:30 am tomorrrow!

Dear Elkford Secondary School Families and Community Members,

As we continue to navigate the ongoing water disruption affecting Elkford Secondary School and uptown, I would like to provide an important update regarding our Graduation Commencement Ceremony for the Class of 2026.

After carefully reviewing timelines and logistical considerations, we have made the decision to officially relocate Commencement 2026 to the Elkford Arena. While this was not our original plan, we are confident that this venue will allow us to provide a safe, comfortable, and memorable celebration for our graduates and their families.

We would like to extend our thanks to the District of Elkford for their support, partnership and cooperation throughout this process. Their willingness to work alongside us has helped ensure that our graduates will still receive the celebration they deserve despite the challenges our community is currently facing.

While a change in venue is not ideal, our focus remains on celebrating the accomplishments, perseverance, and success of the Class of 2026. We appreciate the patience, flexibility, and support shown by our students, families, staff, and community throughout this situation.

We look forward to coming together at the Elkford Arena to honour and celebrate our graduates.

Remember, 10:30 AM on June 25th, 2026 at the Elkford Arena! We hope to see you there to celebrate with us!

Sincerely,

Thomas Skelton
Principal
Elkford Secondary School

What an outstanding year of talent and dedication at ESS! Here are some examples from the hard-working students of Ms. Lanyon's textiles classes. It's truly amazing what our students accomplished in such a short amount of time, some never having touched a sewing machine before or worked with the various materials.
