Started in a log school house with 21 students in 1887, Red Deer Public Schools has come a long way. Today we provide quality education to 10,000 students in 20 schools offering a wide range of programs and services to support students in achieving their personal best.

 

The 2012-2013 school year will mark our 125th Anniversary and we have much to celebrate. Anniversary events begin the weekend of September 20 to 22, 2012, with celebrations continuing throughout the year. We welcome you to participate in some of the planned events. 

 

The 125 Celebration Evening – Thursday, September 20 - Harvest Center at Westerner Park

An opportunity for former and current staff, students, community leaders and partners to reconnect. This will be a special evening featuring a buffet dinner, some reflections and a special presentation by alumnus and acclaimed author Will Ferguson.

Student Assemblies – Friday, September 21 at Lindsay Thurber and Hunting Hills 

Middle and high school students will hear both a humorous and insightful message by acclaimed author Will Ferguson. His message aligns perfectly with our district priorities of literacy, inclusion of all students and high school completion and transitions. This is a student only presentation, but is part of our kick off celebrations.

 

Family Pancake Breakfast – Saturday, September 22 - Lindsay Thurber from 8:00 - 12:00

Fun for the whole family featuring a good ol’ pancake breakfast along with lots of family friendly entertainment
