St Catherine’s school kindergarten teacher Angela Sheppard is the district’s nominee for the Edwin Parr teacher award.

It is presented annually to outstanding first-year teachers in Alberta.

In a release, GPCSD said being nominated for this honor is a great accomplishment and a testament to Angela’s commitment to her profession.

They added that they are proud to have Angela as a part of their educational community, and they wish her the best as she continues to inspire and educate her students.
