High School Graduation is a formal celebration of successfully completion of the Alberta High School Diploma. In order to be eligible to participate in the Graduation Ceremony and Graduation Reception, students must meet the requirements for the diploma.  To cross the stage in your gown, you must be registered in the courses that will have you meeting each specific requirement:
