Welcome back to Keswick High School! It is with great anticipation that we begin the 2021-2022 school year. 

Our school focus continues to be the well-being, learning and success of all of our students. In particular, I believe it is important that we continue to advance our work to remove barriers, level proverbial playing fields and improve equitable outcomes for all students and staff using anti-oppressive practices.  I look forward to connecting with our students to learn about them, their goals and various pathways. I will seek their input to help shape how they experience all that Keswick High School has to offer. 

Student and staff safety is paramount to us so we will continue to work with York Region Public Health to ensure that proper protocols are in place to keep us safe. This may mean continuing to wear masks, frequent hand washing and/or hand sanitizing, and upholding high standards of cleanliness within our building. Students will be engaged in learning about our health and safety protocols on their first days at school so ensure that everyone has all of the necessary information to keep our community of learners safe. 

I look forward to an exciting year of learning and growth at Keswick High School as we welcome Grade 9 students, our future 2025 Graduates,  as well as continue to support all students including all Grade 12 students, the graduating Class of 2022! May this year be filled with epiphanies, discoveries, celebrations, and moments of reflection to support a harmonious pathway forward.
