Teacher's name: Mr. Jade Gibbons
Teacher's school: Harriot Curtis Collegiate

I first came to know Mr. Jade Gibbons when I attended my first day of high school.  Scariest day of my life, so I thought, because of all the ‘senior high’ students, and to this day I remember Mr. Gibbons making us leave his home room by the row we were sat in. Now if […]

Teacher's name: Ms. Erin Walsh
Teacher's school: St. Peter's

I had plenty of teachers but one of them stood out—Ms. Walsh, my grade 8 English teacher and my grade 9 home room teacher. When I met Ms. Walsh, I noticed that there was something different about her from all of the other teachers. When I had a problem, I would always go to her. […]

20 years ago, as a young student finding my way through high school, I had the pleasure of having Mr. Vokey as my language teacher. He was very supportive, understanding, and made the years that I was his student an absolute pleasure. During these days I learned many lessons, but Mr.Vokey always made me believe […]

Thank you, Mr. Trimm

Author: Brianne Scott
Teacher's name: Mr. Trimm
Teacher's school: Baccalieu Collegiate

It’s safe to say that one of the scariest moments of my teenage years was my first day of tenth grade. I received my schedule, knowing this year I would have “Triple Trimm” as many students liked to call it, meaning that he was teaching our class for three classes in a row: science, English, […]

Thank you, Ms. O’Brien

Author: Jenelle Welshman
Teacher's name: JoAnn O'Brien
Teacher's school: St. James Regional High

Ms. O’Brien was my guidance counselor throughout high school. Most people don’t refer to guidance couselors as teachers, but Ms. O’Brien was more than a guidance counselor or even a teacher; she is the glue that held many students that attended my high school together. Throughout my school years, I never really understood the importance […]

When I think of my […]
