Abstract	In Manitoba's Seven Oaks School Division, all 3,000 high school students have a teacher advisor who spends an hour a week with them throughout their four years in high school, knows them as individuals, knows their families, and acts as an academic and life coach. Advisors help students complete their first high school course registration and they hand them their diplomas when they cross the stage at graduation, usually with a hearty handshake and a hug. To make graduation ceremonies more reflective of the division's aspirations for all of its students, graduation ceremonies have been revised to focus on the individual students, including a citation for each and every grad. In the interest of time, there are few awards and speeches, but students are acknowledged in a way that celebrates their unique experiences and contributions through their years of public school.
