The Excellence in Catholic Education Award honours exemplary contribution to Catholic education.

Her nominators noted that as the school counsellor, Mrs. Rae consistently supports students with compassion, understanding, and guidance. She is an active member of Holy Family Parish who brings prayer and faith into her counseling sessions and in all that she does. Mrs. Rae has a passion for engaging students in leadership and service activities. The Notre Dame Christmas Store is just one of the many projects that Mrs. Rae organizes, showing students firsthand how to put their faith into action. When told she was the successful recipient Mrs. Rae was both humbled and honoured.
Background on the Award: The Excellence in Catholic Education Award was established by the Council of Catholic School Superintendents of Alberta to communicate clearly the benefits of Catholic education and its value to society. This prestigious award recognizes Catholic teachers in Alberta who have done an exemplary job in preparing our youth to grow into outstanding citizens. In our District, a recipient is awarded annually. A committee is established composed of a Teacher, a Trustee, a Parent, an Administrator, and a Member of the Parish Community to determine the winning recipient. We extend our congratulations to each of this year’s nominees who are passionate about Catholic education, inspire their students, and are committed to fostering the well-being of youth.
