Graduation 2026

The staff of École Secondaire St. Albert Catholic High School looks forward to celebrating the achievements of the graduating class of 2026 on Thursday, June 25, and Friday, June 26. 

The event will be held over two days, starting with the Graduation Mass at Holy Family Parish. Commencement Ceremony on June 26, 2025, followed by the Prom celebration from 7:30 pm-11:00 pm

Mandatory Grad Rehearsal to be announced

Thursday, June 25th- Holy Family Parish 

We encourage all graduates to attend the mass, it’s a great opportunity to spend time together as a graduating class and with family.  

Friday, June 26th

Ceremony at the Jubilee Auditorium

Ticket purchases will be available starting in May through Ticketmaster.  

Before May, we will post an access code to allow families to start purchasing tickets on the sale date. The student's Albert Education number will be needed to purchase the tickets. Grads should know their number; if not, they can come and ask at the office.

Grads will NOT need a ticket to get in. They have to show their cap and gown when coming in, and that will confirm they are a graduate.

At the door, no tickets will be available. Try to plan who you are bringing so that everyone can sit together because you will be selecting seats when you buy your tickets. 

Graduates must wear their cap, gown, and stole at the Jubilee. Gowns and stoles will be returned immediately after the ceremony; caps are the grads to keep.

Photo booths will be available before and after the ceremony.

Valedictorian Criteria

This student’s average will be calculated based on their mark in English 30-1 as well as four courses from the following list:

-       Math 30-1

-       Math 31

-       Biology 30

-       Chemistry 30

-       Physics 30

-       French Language Arts 30-1

-       Social Studies 30-1

One of these courses can be a GSACRD course that is not a SACHS course (e.g., St. Gabriel or GSACRD Summer School). In the event of a tie, the administration and counselors will choose the valedictorian based on the student’s contributions to the school. The cutoff for term two marks used in the calculation will be two weeks before the graduation date.
