The Holy Family Regional Catholic District has announced the recipients of its Long Service awards among their staff at their six schools as well as their Central Office.

A total of 48 staff members were recognized, with some choosing to receive their awards at year-end school celebrations, while the rest will be recognized at the division’s opening day Celebration and Mass on August 30.

Superintendent Betty Turpin said in a news release “We are one big family and whether someone is being recognized for 35 years or five years, we are blessed and thankful for their contributions over the years.”

Staff were recognized for reaching five-year increments within the district, with two in particular – Robert Pardell and Leigh Blackhurst from St Andrew’s School in High Prairie – recognized for 35 and 25 years respectively with the division.
