Graham earned his degree from University of New Brunswick, as a graduate from both Harrison House as well as Neill House and Neill House, following which he graduated with his education from St Thomas University in Fredericton. Graham was a part of his time prior to his entry into politics as an elected official for the provincial civil service.
