RDCRS Edwin Parr Award and RDCRS Excellence in Catholic Education Award

To honour excellence in first-year teachers, the Board of Trustees for Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools (RDCRS) has selected Kaitlyn McCulloch from St. Patrick’s Community School as the Division’s finalist for the Alberta School Boards Association (ASBA) 2024 Edwin Parr Award.

Officials say McCulloch was one of two teachers nominated for this award from across the Division. Vanessa Stang from St. Gregory the Great, was also nominated for this award.

In total, six Edwin Parr Teacher Award winners will be recognized at a provincial level by ASBA at its Fall General Meeting.

Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools says it is also pleased to recognize Gillian Hallam, Grade 1 teacher and Faith Coach at Father Henri Voisin School in Red Deer, who received the 2024 Excellence in Catholic Education Award. 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.
