A Grade 6 teacher at Red Deer’s Ecole Mother Teresa Catholic School in Sylvan Lake has received a 2023 Excellence in Catholic Education Award.

Adam Locke, a faith coach, and liaison between his school and the Our Lady of Assumption Parish, leads staff professional development.

“We are thrilled that Mr. Locke has been chosen as our division recipient for this award. He has dedicated countless hours to supporting the faith journey of all members of our school community over the years,” says Principal Jeff Tuchscherer.

“The passion he has for his faith sparks a fire in those around him to strive to be true followers of Christ. Adam’s humility as a servant of Christ is an example for each of us to model ourselves after. He is thoroughly deserving of this recognition and we are all extremely proud to serve alongside him.”

Presented annually by the Council of Catholic School Superintendents of Alberta (CCSSA), the Excellence in Catholic Education Award recognizes Catholic ‘teachers’ in Alberta who have done an exemplary job in preparing youth to grow into outstanding Catholic citizens.
