Fernie Secondary School graduates donned their caps and gowns in this afternoon’s ceremony surrounded by family and friends. Graduates received their diplomas and $66,000 in scholarships and bursaries.

Valedictorian Liam Faucher used his talented songwriting abilities to present a unique and inspiring address to the Class of 2013.

The celebration continues tonight as the class holds it’s Grand March at the Fernie Community arena starting at 10:30 pm. Hats off to the Fernie Secondary School graduates on your accomplishments!
