Every February, Canadians are invited to participate in Black History Month festivities and events that honour the legacy of Black Canadians, past and present. People of African descent helped shape the cultural, legal, political, military, and athletic history of this country, creating the Canada that we know today. Grey Highlands Secondary School will fly the Pan-African flag during the month of February to celebrate our Black Canadian community. The Pan African Flag was designed to represent the people of the African Diaspora and is a symbol of Black Pride. In the flag, the red represents the blood that has been shed throughout history by Black citizens around the world, the black represents the colour of their skin, and the green represents the richness of the land.

March is International Women's Month and Grey Highlands Secondary School is celebrating women in the skilled trades! This month, we are supporting and empowering our female students in the Transportation Technology class who are discovering rewarding career pathways and training programs related to skilled trades. Our goal is to engage students and reach parents with the message that skilled trades provide rewarding career opportunities.

The art wall above was created by the students of GHSS with guidance from Art teacher, Kirsty Wilson and Mental Health Worker, Jenn Ottewell. Each feather is personalized and tells a story. We are lucky to have such creativity at the Highlands!

October 23rd, 2020 Commencement tonight!

While this is not the way that we would like to celebrate our grads, we hope that you enjoy this virtual ceremony! To view the ceremony as of 7:15PM tonight, please click here.

For the pick up of the diplomas, we will be sending a notification out to grads. We ask that you pull into the parking lot in front of the school and we will hand you your grad package or put it into your trunk. The date for this will be in November.

We wish all of our grads the very best and hope to hear about all of your successes!
