First Nation Grad 2012 was held on May 24, in the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. There was a crowd of about 700 people including proud parents, teachers, presenters, elders and about 105 grads (out of 173) in attendance.

It was a very beautiful ceremony led in by cultural dancers. The grads representing Clearwater Secondary School were Cascara Loucks, Stephanie Maggrah, Elton Musselman, Ty Richardson and Tanner Ritchie-Bonar. Graduating from CSS but not in attendance were Luke Bowden, Damon Chase, Jennifer Neufeld, Allison Patterson, and Ryan Pigeon.

Elton Musselman received $600 from the Duncan Marie MacRae Award and another $200 from the Vincent Spina Award.

Congratulations to all grads. Job well done.
