Carnduff grads are almost ready for the big day

The Carnduff Education Complex’s (CEC) graduation ceremony will take place on June 27.

The Carnduff Education Complex’s (CEC) graduation ceremony will take place on June 27.

All 34 students are excited, and while grads are making final preparations before they step into a bigger world, Lifestyles talked to CEC principal Ryan Nichols about the schedule of the graduation day.

“We have a banquet at 5 o’clock, and our ceremony is at 7 o’clock, which is held at the Carnduff Education Complex gymnasium,” said Nichols.

With about two weeks left before the date, CEC still has to decide on the colours and the theme for the ceremony. But most things are already done.

“The dresses, tuxedos, escorts for the evening and everything have been finalized, banquet numbers … everything is ready to go,” said Nichols.

The picture of students wearing their dresses and tuxedos will be taken the day of the graduation. And the cap and gown pictures were done back in February. Some grads will also take individual pictures with photographers that they choose. 

Besides the main ceremony, there are some more events planned to happen in June.

“They’ll have some graduation functions outside the school with some open houses and such,” said Nichols.

Trevor Geiger, the CEC History 30 Social Studies teacher, will be a guest speaker at the graduation ceremony this year.

Nichols noted he was also looking forward to the day.

“Excellent group of graduates. We are looking forward to seeing them finish the year and seeing them going into the next journey whatever that might be. Great group of graduates we have this year,” said Nichols.
