Our celebratory video premiered on May 29, 2021 at 3 p.m. You can rewatch the celebration of the graduating class and the reading of the names of all graduates. If you want to find comments people left on the videos, visit the watch party on Facebook.
During the video celebration, several King’s students were honoured for their outstanding academic achievement. Academic Award winners.
Due to current health and safety concerns related to COVID-19, we regret that we have had to postpone our May 29, 2020 Encaenia ceremony. Graduates and their guests will be invited to celebrate Encaenia with us in person at a future time when it’s safe and permissible to gather.
However, while we cannot physically be together on May 29, King’s has created a Facebook group to celebrate the class of 2020 now. Please join the “Celebrating King’s Class of 2020” Facebook group.
There, we invite the Class of 2020 to share videos, photos or memories of their time at King’s. Family, friends, faculty, staff and alumni are encouraged to share advice and well wishes for the graduates. This Facebook group will serve as a content hub and a virtual yearbook, and it will be a legacy space for this class to enjoy into the future.
And most exciting of all, we’re creating a celebratory video that will premiere as a “Watch Party” on the Group’s page at 3 p.m. on May 29. (The video will also be shared on King’s YouTube page and website.)
If you’re not on Facebook but still would like to grant well wishes to the class of 2020, you may email them to kingscollegehfx@gmail.com and King’s will post them on your behalf.

King’s is committed to finding a meaningful way to mark Encaenia 2020. As you know, President Lahey is committed to an in-person event in the future. In the current circumstances, we do not yet know when or what form that will take. We will let you know when we have further information and thank you for your patience.
