The first ever Grade 12 graduating class for the Coast Tsimshian Academy is making a bit of North Coast History and word of the success for the ten students was being shared far and wide over the last week.
Regular readers of the blog will have noted some of the previous interest in the milestone moment for the North Coast community, as we tracked some of the stories that traced the countdown to Graduation Day for Lax Kw'alaams as well as their recent journey to Ontario and Quebec.
Along with their sight seeing adventures in Central Canada, the grads appeared on the Toronto morning Show Breakfast Television and were treated to a shopping spree at one Yorkdale Mall one of Toronto's most popular shopping centres, where the latest in Grad fashions made their way back to the North Coast.
More on their journey to Ontario and Quebec can be explored on the Coast Tsimshian Facebook page.
As for the big day, it arrived in mid June with the first ever convocation celebration at the Reginald Sampson Memorial Gymnasium and with it the local and national media took note.
With a number of stories to salute the graduates and their hard work that led to their final moments at the Coast Tsimshian Academy.
