This year's largest graduating class in the Parkland is set to receive their diplomas on Friday. 

337 students are graduating from Swan Valley Regional Secondary school.  

Jacquie Mydynski-Arp is principal of the school. 

"The staff and kids will come in, and they will take a picture outside on the football field.  The ceremony then starts at 3 at the school.  We will have our banquet  at the curling centre, followed by the grand march, and then safe grad starting at 10, also at the curling rink."

Mydynski-Arp says this year's graduating class can best be described as resilient. 

"They have gone through many things, life-changing events from losing parents to the current flooding.  You name it, these kids are very resilient."

Mydynski-Arp also wanted to send a special thank you to her students for stepping up and helping others during the recovery efforts from the recent flooding in the area.
