une 2nd 2012, Sparwood Secondary graduation! The day is approaching extremely fast as celebrations begin and we graduates prepare for this great milestone. It marks the end of our high school careers and the beginning of the rest of our “real” lives. I am honoured as well as very excited to have been chosen by this amazing class to represent them on this special day! We have shared many good times and made this year one to remember! We have all faced many challenges throughout high school years. Thanks to the commitment and dedication from our families, friends and school staff, we have not only overcome these challenges but also succeeded in our ultimate goal of becoming high school graduates! On behalf of this year’s grads, thank you to the businesses and people of Sparwood for making this community a wonderful place to grow up in! ~ Jay Marshall

Valedictorian’s Message
O
n behalf of the staff and students of Fernie Secondary School, it is my pleasure to salute the Graduating Class of 2012. Over the past five years these young men and women have successfully navigated the sometimesrough waters that lead from adolescence to adulthood. Along the way, mistakes were made, challenges were met, and successes were celebrated. But most importantly, talents were discovered. It is these discoveries that have enabled our graduates to demonstrate excellence in many different areas, including academics, trades, drama, athletics, music, and art to name just a few. Graduates, as you look forward to the many opportunities and challenges that await you in the journeys still to come, I hope that you are also able to look back at the time you spent at Fernie Secondary and smile. You have done well, we are proud of you and we wish you good luck. We invite all members of the community to join us at the Commencement Ceremony, to be held on Friday, June 29th at 2:00pm in the Fernie Memorial Arena. Again this year, we will be able to showcase the many accomplishments of our graduates as well as the generous support that our community provides through the many scholarships and bursaries that will be awarded. We look forward to seeing you there! ~ Bill Johnson
Congratulations
A
s graduation begins to sprout up on the horizon the excitement of my classmates and myself follows suit. We look to one another and see pride in nearing the completion of a goal we’ve worked towards for most of our young lives. All of us, teachers, students and parents alike look forward to this important moment and beyond, full of hope, motivation and also a small amount of fear. To my fellow graduates, I say, do not fear the future because I know that each and everyone of you has the capacity to succeed. To our unparalleled, supportive community, I would like to thank you on behalf of the graduate class for the countless hours and funds invested in us. In the future, I picture myself opening a newspaper and reading about the excellence demonstrated in athletics, academics and leadership both in the community and abroad by our generation. I also can safely say, Grad 2012 will not only compete but surpass the expectations of a changing world. For now, dear grads, we can continue our schooling and look forward to that awe-inspiring moment on stage where the fruits of our labour will be showcased to the ever present community. The hard work and dedication in trades, arts, math and science will continue to pay off over the course of the years to come. I wish you all the best, grads and anxiously await our Commencement Ceremony.

The Fernie Academy Principal p ’s Message

FA Mission Statement: Through active learning experiences, in partnership with the family and community, each student is encouraged to achieve their full potential in academics, arts and athletics.
As we come to the close of our tenth year in operation, this philosophy remains true. Our students, their families and our teachers continue to work together to prepare our students for the future by offering a variety of learning opportunities. An emphasis on academics, athletics and arts provides all students with a strong liberal educational experience. Writing and delivering speeches, creating and researching science experiments, debating current events, international travel, exploring during local field trips, participating in athletic competitions, challenging a Spelling Bee, raising awareness about those less fortunate are all venues beyond the regular classroom during which Academy students have an opportunity to learn and grow.
Our staff continues to be committed to the complete education of all of our students. Their care and attention has laid the foundation for the future success of our graduates. I would like to recognize them for their hard work and dedication to each individual student.
As our graduates come to the close of their time at the Academy, I trust that they feel confident and well prepared to succeed in their chosen fields. We have challenged, nurtured, respected and had the pleasure of knowing all of them. We wish all the graduates of 2012, a happy and prosperous future.
Valedictorian’s Message
M
y name is Ashley Plesman and it is an honour to be graduating from The Fernie Academy. I have only had the privilege of being a part of The Fernie Academy community for two years, yet the impression that it made on me will never be forgotten. The Fernie Academy is founded on three principles: excellence, respect and learning. Together, we have created an environment where learning is encouraged, talents are recognized and where students are enabled to reach their potential. The Fernie Academy offers many courses to its students from languages to art and from calculus to science. We are also challenged with speech contests, formal debates and science fair competitions each year. Thanks to this wide variety of courses, I feel that we, as graduating students, are thoroughly prepared to take on the next stage in life. Yet without the dedicated and compassionate teachers who have taught us, encouraged us and inspired us, we would not be the people we are today. Thank you for guiding us along this journey and supporting us both in and out of the classroom. To our principal, thank you for your dedication to this school and your continual support as we faced the high and lows of high school. The Fernie Academy has also equipped us with many valuable life experiences. Whether it’s traveling to Peru to work in a boy’s home or venturing into Europe to explore German culture, we owe these experiences to The Fernie Academy. We have seen the world and been challenged to widen our perspective because of it. We have been taught to form our own opinions, to think critically and to strive for excellence in every circumstance. These are valuable life lessons that not only apply to our future academic endeavours but to every aspect of life. Through the adventures, the challenges and the fun days filled with laughter, I feel honoured to have had my classmates beside me. We have walked this journey together and grown tremendously along the way. To the class of 2012, graduation has finally arrived and we’ve made it here together.
