The community of Naujaat came together to see Tuugaalik High School celebrate its largest graduating class in history on Aug. 24.

The Class of 2018 had 20 students hear their names called to come forward and receive their Grade 12 diplomas. It is the largest graduation class that Naujaat has ever seen, said vice-principal Julia MacPherson.

The event was made even more special when the school was able to hire a professional decorator to come up to Naujaat, and plan for and execute the decorating and details of the graduation, she said.
