Commencement Update

We have some exciting news for you! The details for our graduation ceremony on Tuesday, June 27th have been finalized. A series of smaller graduation ceremonies in E.L. Fox auditorium will take place throughout that day. Graduates can sign up for your preferred ceremony time through Eventbrite. Tickets will be available on this site starting on Friday May 12, at 12:00PM. We will also send out this link on the Grade 12 Google Classroom, the John F. Ross website and our school’s Instagram page. We suggest you sign up early because we don’t all fit in EL Fox and each ceremony is limited to 175 graduates and their three guests. The deadline to sign up is Friday June 23 (first come, first served). We look forward to celebrating this momentous occasion with you!
