A message from our Superintendent, Shannon Smith
Dear Graduates,
First of all, congratulations to all the graduates within Continuing Education! This is a moment to savour and celebrate as it represents the culmination of a significant amount of work and dedication on your part. I have no doubt that these past few months do not represent what you thought your final moments of school would look like or feel like and your perseverance is to be commended. As you head into the next chapter of your life, whatever that may be, it is my hope that you feel well prepared for any challenge that comes your way. I hope that you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy and enjoy the summer. All the very best,
Shannon Smith
Superintendent of Instruction
A message from the Mayor of Ottawa, Jim Watson
I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to all of the students graduating from OCDSB this year. It certainly has been a difficult period, particularly at a time when your accomplishments as students should be celebrated in person. I commend you all for continuing to do your very best in school. Although this is a unique year, I hope it is memorable and fulfilling. To everyone graduating in 2020, I wish you a fun-filled, safe summer and success in your future endeavours.

Je tiens à féliciter sincèrement tous les étudiants diplômés de l'OCDSB cette année. Il a certainement été une période difficile, surtout à une époque où vos réalisations en tant qu’étudiants devraient être célébrées en personne. Je vous félicite tous de continuer à faire de votre mieux à l'école. Bien que ce soit une année unique, j'espère que c'est mémorable et épanouissant. À tous ceux qui obtiendront leur diplôme en 2020, je vous souhaite un été amusant et sain, et j’offre mes meilleurs vœux dans vos projets futurs.
