Grad
On Thursday, June 8 th , New Heights School celebrated the graduation of our students in the class of
2023.
The afternoon ceremony and evening festivities ranged (in typical New Heights fashion) from fun to
formal, and everything in between.

It was a time to reflect on the years spent at New Heights and the impact these students have made on
their peers, teachers, families, and greater Calgary community throughout their academic years, and
looking towards the adventures and opportunities they will take part in as they step out of these doors.
A video presentation from the grads to the New Heights community was a highlight of the evening.
We are so excited for their adventures ahead, and so grateful to have been a part of their journey.

Congratulations to the Class of 2023!
