Lindsay Thurber High School honours NASA scientist alumni
The Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School Hall of Fame recognizes alumni who have made a difference in their community, while being role models for future graduates.
The 29th annual Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony took place at LTCHS on Oct. 6, 2021. This year’s inductee is Jessica Scott, a 1998 graduate of the French Immersion program.
Scott said she was honoured to be inducted into the LTCHS Hall of Fame. “I feel humbled to be included with all the other great LTCHS inductees. It’s clear the school and dedication of the teachers provide a strong foundation for students to go on and pursue goals across a wide variety of areas. I truly appreciate all the support I received growing up in Red Deer from my teachers, coaches, and family. I am very thankful for this special recognition.”
After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Alberta in 2003, Jessica completed her MSc (2005) and PhD (2009) at the University of British Columbia studying the effects of prolonged exercise on heart function in athletes and heart transplant recipients.
