Principal's
Message
Mount
Prevost Middle is a central and integral part of the community,
with its traditions, its staff and most importantly, its students.
As the educational leader of the school I am in a position
to exercise tremendous influence. My vision of educational
leadership is to accept this responsibility as a trust, that
is the development of the nation’s greatest resource,
the minds of its next generation. In so doing, I believe it
is incumbent on the principal to influence the school community,
the staff, the students, their parents and the community at
large to implement a program of instruction that will enable
this resource to be developed to its fullest extent. Such
a program would encourage learners to acquire the skills,
the attitudes and the knowledge that will enable them to enter
post secondary institutions and acquire the occupational skills
necessary to support themselves and to sustain the economy
to the nation.
At Mount Prevost Middle we want our students to experience
as many opportunities as possible, whether it be in the classroom,
on field trips, at extra-curricular sporting events or as
part of our many fine arts activities. Our entire staff is
looking forward to working with you to foster an environment
in which our students, your children, will enjoy success.
Jamie Doyle, Principal,
Mount Prevost Middle School
