Mr. Quigley was my high school English teacher. His passion for teaching, his dry sense of humor and his genuine concern for his students changed my life forever. Mr. Quigley’s enthusiasm was contagious and I developed my own love of English and teaching as well! Not only did I excel in English during my high […]

I met Mr. Perry during my graduating year at Holy Heart. He was a guidance counselor at the high school during my time there. I never imagined I would need to see a guidance counselor for anything, but I couldn’t have predicted the changes I was about to go through in my last year of […]

Mrs. Rosemary Hare is not only the best teacher but the most wonderful, caring person I have ever met in my whole life. When I was in Grade 5, my best friend passed away. I will never forget how Mrs. Hare made me feel as she helped me through a very difficult time in my […]

Entering grade 11, I hated history. I had no interest and certainly no commitment to it. Within the first week alone of Mr. Johnston’s world history class, this completely changed. His class became so much more than a place where information was simply regurgitated to students, it became a place where independent thought and debate […]

I was one of the lucky ones. I thrived in our overcrowded school. However, once I knew who my teacher in Grade 4 would be, I became nervous. I remember getting warnings from older students that Mrs. Leamon was strict, perhaps the most strict in our school. This worried me because even though I was […]
