Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Grade 12 students at Summerland Secondary School received their high school diplomas.
Because of the provincial directives to slow the spread of the pandemic, the traditional graduation event was not possible this year.
Instead, a series of small ceremonies took place at the high school gym over three days, where seven students at a time were presented with their diplomas. This year, around 110 students are graduating.
