ARCOLA - Janine Houston is the learning support teacher at the Arcola school and was the graduation coordinator for 2022. “This class had learned to persevere and adapt in the face of the pandemic. In their grade 10 year they abruptly made the switch to online learning and faced the uncertainty of how the pandemic would impact their grade 11 and 12 years. Our 9 students succeeded, and the Arcola school is extremely proud of this year’s graduating class.”
