“The Hutch” at the Park House

Paige Hawkins was the valedictorian for the Class of 2023 and she entered the arena for her address wearing the school’s “Howler” wolf mascot costume. She said it was an honour to graduate with the class and thanked every teacher and coach for seeing their potential and guiding them forward.

Hawkins said while the four years in high school were great, she hopes her fellow graduates remember them well

Vice principal Sara Balsdon said they were with the students through triumph and heartbreak. She also thanked the parents and guardians for “entrusting the education of your children with us” and thanked the students for what they accomplished in their four years in high school.

Director of education Erin Kelly and trustee Ron LeClair were both scheduled to be there but it was announced they had been called away to a special board meeting.
