Teacher's name: Doug Churchill
Teacher's school: Glovertown High
He’s a once in a life time teacher. Douglas Churchill taught not only me but all my siblings, and not only them – he also taught my mom and her brother. He showed all of us what a teacher’s love can do. I’m far from being a rich man but my family and I have […]

Teacher's school: Corner Brook Intermediate
Thank you, Mr. Perchard. Mr. Perchard has helped me through everything the past 2 years. He is actually the reason I enjoy school. Mr. Perchard has made me smile, even when I didn’t want to. He always has a joke to tell me. And he has made me get through grade 8 and 9 with […]
Thank you, Mrs. Warren

Teacher's school: Perlwin Elementary
Mrs. Warren was the first teacher I ever had, starting me off on the right track in our little Kindergarten class at Perlwin Elementary. I got the privilege of having her teach me again, as my Grade 3 teacher. Mrs. Warren was an uncommonly kind and considerate woman and such an inspiration to me at […]

Teacher's school: Presentation Junior High
When I moved to Corner Brook from a small community on the Northen Pen, school was rough. Between being bullied and missing my family, I purposely didn’t care about school. I was depressed. Mrs. Joyce, who taught at Presentation Junior High, was my strength. She gave me chances and made me see how worth it […]

Teacher's name: Diane Drover (Neil)
Teacher's school: St. Michael’s School
During one’s high school years, there are often moments which play such a huge role in determining one’s future. For me that came when I had the fortunate experience of having Mrs. Diane Drover (Neil) come to St. Michael’s in Arnold’s Cove. She brought a level of patience and competence to teaching that were far […]

Teacher's name: Mary McCarthy-Doyle
Teacher's school: Corpus Christi High
When I attended Corpus Christi High back in the late 80’s, a new English teacher that wasn’t from the area came to our school. At the time, her name was Miss Mary McCarthy/now Mrs. Mary Doyle. Miss McCarthy was a little strict (which we did really need) and heaven forbid if you didn’t have your […]

Teacher's name: Mr. Jason Elliott
Teacher's school: St. Michael's High
I was so lucky to have had Mr. Elliott as my teacher in High School. His awesome teaching skills, great personality and caring ways went a long way. Struggling in high school and just scraping by was hard, but Mr. Elliott was always there to push me through it and never gave up on me, […]

When putting off a show, there are many people behind the scenes that we don’t see, helping out to make sure that everything runs smoothly. Sadly, we never see those people who work countless hours with no face and no name, because they’re behind the scenes, putting in the hardest, most dedicated work, to make […]
Thank you, Ms. Mercer

Teacher's name: Corrina Mercer Fahey
Teacher's school: O'Donel High
Ms. Mercer (Fahey) was one of the first teachers I met when I started high school. I’m pretty sure we hit it off from the start, with our twisted sense of humours. She taught me grade 10 science and I loved going to her class. Grade 10 was when my brain tumour started growing and […]

Music—I guess it’s always been kinda my thing. As long as I remember, I have performed at local concerts, been in music lessons, and loved taking part in anything involved with music. Unfortunately, in my grade ten and eleven years of high school, I wasn’t able to register for any accredited music courses. Coming from […]
