One of École Notre Dame High School's most cherished traditions continued today as the Class of 2026 gathered for their annual graduation pep rally and grad walk through the community.
The day began with a pep rally, where graduates received plant clippings from the school's living wall, presented by Superintendent Sheldon Germain. The plant clippings serve as a meaningful symbol of growth as graduates prepare to begin the next chapter of their journey. Graduates then took part in the traditional Grad Walk, visiting École Notre Dame Elementary School, the Bonnyville Lodge, and École Dr. Bernard Brosseau School, where they were greeted with cheers, high-fives, handmade posters, and well wishes from students, staff, residents, and community members.

École Notre Dame High School recently brought the joy of music to younger students during a special band performance at École Notre Dame Elementary School!
ÉNDE students were engaged and excited as high school musicians shared their talents and passion for music through an energetic performance that had students smiling, clapping, and fully tuned in.
One of the highlights came when Mr. deSousa invited a student volunteer from the audience to conduct the band while he joined the musicians himself — creating a fun and memorable moment for students and staff alike.
Thank you to the ENDH band students and staff for sharing their gifts and helping inspire the next generation of musicians!
