Presenting the 2015 Graduating Class of St. Michael's High School in Pincher Creek. 18 students were honoured during Commencement Ceremonies held at the Pincher Creek Community Hall on May 9.

"You have chosen 'Memories' as your theme, and you've already made so many, but your journey has just begun, and you will make many more.  Now as adults we hope you are well equipped to fly. Know that no matter where the road leads for you, you have been blessed by many, and will continue to be." - Holy Spirit School Board Ward 4 Trustee Judy Lane
