Safe Grad and Fun Grad
Safe Grad and Fun Grad are optional activities, historically being held on the evening of the Grand March. Both events are organized and controlled by parent committees. Neither the Grande Prairie Public School District nor Charles Spencer High School endorse either of these activities; they are organized and executed completely by a parent group. All safe grad and fun grad details are determined by the parent committees.
