I hope this letter finds you well and filled with anticipation for the upcoming school year. As we prepare to open our doors once again, I want to extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you. I am very proud to connect with you as the new principal at KHS and would also like to introduce a new member of the Admin Team, Mr. Termei, Vice-Principal (L-Z) as well as welcome back to Ms. Demers, Vice-Principal (A-K)

Our school is more than just a building; it’s a vibrant community where learning, growth, and friendships thrive. Whether you’re a returning student or joining us for the first time, know that you are an essential part of our family. Together, we create an environment where:

• We are braver than we believe, stronger than we seem, and smarter than we think.

• We are critical thinkers who stand up for our rights while carrying our responsibilities.

• We succeed in inclusive spaces where our voices and lived experiences are valued and leveraged.

This year, we embrace possibility. Imagine the discoveries waiting in science labs, the creativity sparked in art studios, and the camaraderie forged on the soccer field. Our classrooms are not just spaces; they are incubators for ideas, where students become thinkers, problem-solvers, and compassionate citizens.

Mark your calendars! We have exciting events planned throughout the year. From the Grade 9 Day (August 26) to Sports Day to our Honours Assembly, these gatherings allow us to celebrate achievements, share talents, and strengthen our bonds. Keep an eye out for announcements—you won’t want to miss a thing!

Remember that our doors are always open. If you need assistance, have questions, or simply want to chat, our dedicated staff is here for you. Let’s build bridges of understanding, empathy, and encouragement.

Thank you for being part of our remarkable community. It’s going to be an extraordinary year and I can’t wait to see everyone this fall!

With enthusiasm and warm regards,

Casey Daleman

Principal, Keswick High School

P.S. Remember to bring your smiles on the first day! 😊
