Mrs. Waterman was more than just a teacher to me. We first met when I was in grade 9 and she was my math teacher, and that day I met someone who would inspire me and help me through so much. I could always joke around with her, but when it came down to it […]

Mrs. Cleary-Haire is a professional, motivating, dedicated, inspiring and compassionate individual. She was my Grade Ten writing teacher and Grade Eleven English teacher.

Without hesitation I can say Mrs. Hogan is by far one of the most influential people in my life. I have had the opportunity to bond with so many amazing teachers throughout my k-12 schooling, but Mrs. Hogan stands out amongst them all; and not just because of her bright red hair! Mrs. Hogan is […]

I was very fortunate to have a teacher who was not only a great influence on my life, but who also became a lifelong friend. Mr. Costello, or “Mr. C” as he was known, came to teach Physical Education at Roncalli Central High School in Port Saunders in the late 70’s. Mr. C was an […]

Teacher's school: Ascension Collegiate
I first had Mr. Warren in grade 7. He was my home room teacher and also taught me a few other courses that year. In all honesty, when I first saw him I was little intimidated! He was tall, and me, not so much! Ever since then, I have had Mr. Warren almost every year […]

Teacher's school: J. R. Smallwood Collegiate
When I was in grade 4, my parents split up/divorced. Like any child, I was devastated and thought my world was over. The only thing I looked forward to was going to school and being able to spend the day with Mrs. Spracklin, and pretending my world at home didn’t exist. She was obviously filled […]
I met Mr. Casey in Grade 7 when I moved to Forteau Labrador. He taught me English for 6 years. I never felt like I fit in much, however Mr. Casey always had a smiling face and made school an exciting place to come to each day despite how I felt. Not only was he […]

Mr. Combden taught me in 8th Grade when I attended Amalgamated Academy. He was not only a teacher, but a friend and a mentor. Mr. Combden was such a great, lighthearted soul, but he taught what needed to be taught and made sure we learned. He also didn’t let you mess around in class; I […]

Thank you, Ms. Delahunty for making my six years at Amalgamated Academy amazing. Thanks to your loving, caring, and outgoing personality, my experience at junior high was just that much better! I first met Ms. Delahunty in grade 4 as my music teacher. I remember being scared of all the “big kids” at Amalgamated but […]
