Matthew Halton High School in Pincher Creek held their end of the year Blue and White Awards ceremony on Thursday, June 26. Staff, students, friends and family members attended. Alexandra Morgan started off the program by leading the singing of O Canada. Principal Sandy McDuffe acted as Emcee for the event. "I truly enjoy the awards ceremonies," said McDuffe after the event. "It is a time when we recognize and reward excellence."


After all the awards were given out to students McDuffe announced that four teachers would not be returning in the fall. Three of those teachers are retiring. She extended best wishes to Mr. Brown, Mrs. Matheson and Mr. Verhagen in their future, and to Mrs. Rast who is transferring to Livingstone School.

McDuffe congratulated all the award recipients and wished everyone a great summer.
