Close to 200, Grade 12 students in the Parkland will receive their high school diplomas on Saturday. 

The first ceremony kicks off at 11 am Saturday morning at Winnipegosis Collegiate.

Principal Erik Persson says they will recognize 20 graduates this year. 

"We keep it fairly simple.  The grads and their guests will be here.  It is a fairly family-oriented event. because we do not have a big gym or a lot of grads. There will be the normal types of bursaries and awards handed out, and we are hoping to be done in about an hour and a half. "  

Meanwhile, 29 graduates will be celebrated at Goose Lake High in Roblin, with their ceremonies beginning a 2, followed by a parade, supper, and safe grad celebration.  

Principal Kirk Wilson says this year's grad class is very diverse. 

"We actually have 18 of our 29 graduates going on to post-secondary school, which is more than half, which is great.  And we have many that are going to the work field.  And we have a variety of students doing a number of different things from one end of the spectrum to the other.  Every year we have wonderful students, so it is another year of celebration."

Over 130 students will graduate from Dauphin Regional Comprehensive Secondary School, with their ceremony starting at 1 at Credit Union Place. 

Alonsa School has five graduates, while McCreary School will hand out diplomas to 9 students. 

Their ceremonies are at 2 pm at Alonsa School and at 3 pm at the McCreary Community Hall..
