Principal's Message

Dear HWW Students, Families, and Community members,

Thank you for your thoughtful commemoration of our National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We appreciate all the Orange Shirts worn on Friday and the variety of events attended yesterday. At the Confluence event, it was so impactful to see the young performers, drummers, dancers, and the community support for this important ReconciliAction work. Thank you, Warriors.

I also want to acknowledge that we are in complex times. We understand there will be a variety of perspectives, impacts and experiences.

Please stay informed about potential ATA Labour Action through the CBE Labour Relations page.

One additional update, students and staff were temporarily evacuated from the school this afternoon due to a false fire alarm.

The Calgary Fire Department responded and gave the all-clear to students and staff to return into the building after about 30 minutes. All students are safe and classes continued as scheduled for the remainder of the day.

I want to thank students and staff for handling this situation in such a prompt and responsible manner. Through regular and effective fire drills, we were well rehearsed and able to follow emergency procedures effectively.

With gratitude,

Aileen Smyth, Principal
