Smithers Secondary School Principal’s message I would like to first congratulate the fine young men and women of the graduating class of 2013. They have conducted themselves in a manner that has made all of us proud. Soon they will be entering a world that is unimaginably different from that of even the previous generation. I am confident though that this talented group will be more than up to the challenge.
Congratulations to all the graduates of 2013 ! The future is fresh with possibilities
I trust that our graduates appreciate this wonderful valley and the family, community members and teachers who have nurtured them along the way. I have no doubt that the best is yet to come and look forward to hearing of their future contributions and accomplishments. It is my sincere hope that they leave Smithers Secondary with fond memories and I wish them well in the pursuit of their dreams. Jim Cameron
