Graduating Class of 2025

The culmination of twelve years of education is a special time in the lives of students, parents, and staff. We recognize this is an important passage and an occasion to be marked with two events. Direct Inquiries can be made to falcongrad@gm.fsd38.ab.ca

Overview

The first event is our Foothills Composite High School 2025 Graduating Ceremony. This event celebrates the academic achievement of students and the completion of twelve years of schooling. This ceremony and celebration is part of the grad fee.

The second event is a formal Banquet & Dance held at the BMO centre for students, their guests, and/or family members. Some students choose to organize with friends. Other students organize and invite family.

The cost per Banquet Ticket is approximately $115 GST included. Price to be confirmed.

Notes on this fundraising:

An additional 5% of all orders is credited to the graduate. This means that you can apply this fundraising amount to either the grad fee ($120.00) or your dinner tickets (approx. $105.00 each)
For example - $1000.00 purchased in cards will give you a credit for $50.00.
The fundraiser will end March 30, 2025
If you are putting these funds towards the grad fee – DO NOT PAY THIS FEE IN EDSEMBLI UNTIL MARCH. On your first order, you will be asked, are you fundraising towards your grad fee or dinner tickets or both.
Credit from this fundraiser will be transferred to Edsembli at the end of December and at the end of March. Credit for dinner ticket will not occur until April and info on this process will be sent out at a later date.
Cards are usually available the next business day for pick up. All payments must be made at the main office.
WE CANNOT REFUND EXCESS FUNDS. These funds can be assigned to another graduate or donated to our Grads in Need Fund.
