Mrs. Hardy was my teacher for numerous courses including English, Drama and Russian, but the lessons she’s taught far extend outside of the classroom. Mrs. Hardy is one of the most caring individuals I have ever met and genuinely cares for the well-being of each and every student. Walking into her classroom was always a […]

Mr. Simms was more than just a teacher to me and MANY other students, and to this day I often find myself going to him whenever I need help … and he’s always there. I’ve known Simms for about 4 years. I remember when I was in grade 9 and two of my sisters had […]
