Fraser Institute Award Honours Haultain

School performance study reveals Haultain's outstanding academic improvements.

The Fraser Institute has awarded our little school the Garfield Weston Award for being among the top thirty Alberta schools in the category for Improvement in Academics. This is an awesome acknowledgment of something we already know - Haultain is a great school and continues to get better.

Student's results data from all schools in Alberta were exhaustively studied and analyzed by the Frasier Institute and Haultain scored among the top 30 schools in the category. To view Haultain's School Performance data at the Institute's web site, click here.

From the Fraser Institute:

"These annual awards were established in Alberta in 2000 and they acknowledge school teams whose skill, hard work, perseverance, and enthusiasm have contributed significantly to their students' academic performance. The awards are generously supported by The W. Garfield Weston Foundation, a Canadian charitable foundation."

So join me in congratulating Mr. Barkley and all the dedicated staff at Haultain!

  3. I am not surprised by this prestigious award. Those of us who are lucky enough to work with the teachers, staff, students and parent volunteers (especially those dedicated Parent Council members) know that we are in an envious position, and are proud to say that our children attend Haultain Memorial.
