PACI grad celebrates community and family support
In his closing remarks to the 2025 graduation class, Prince Albert Collegiate Institute (PACI) Principal David Lokinger encouraged them to never be afraid to reach out for help.
As part of Thursday afternoon’s ceremony at the EA Rawlinson Centre, 43 students, donning black and gold robes, walked across the stage.
“It’s a celebration of community because let’s be honest you did not get here alone. Every one of you has faced challenges. Some were big, some quiet, and some that no one else ever saw and through these moments, there were people around you, friends, family, staff, classmates and those who supported you, those who challenged you, believed in you, or maybe just listened to you when you needed it most,” he said.
This year’s grad class featured not one but three valedictorians. Kaeleigh Burns admitted standing out in front of her classmates was a bit scary.
