Graduates from Saugeen District Secondary School (SDSS) occupied the boardwalk on the Port Elgin Beach on Friday, June 28 for their pre-prom photo tradition.

The former students meandered between memories of their high school years and looked ahead to the next chapter in their lives. Parents, teachers, friends and relatives filled the gaps between students and the overcast skies created a dramatic backdrop to the photographs that captured this milestone.
