Classes resume for Carlton Comprehensive High School students

Sep 6, 2017 | 8:00 AM

Yesterday marked the beginning of the end for senior year students at Prince Albert’s Carlton Comprehensive High School, the largest high school in the province.

Grade 9 to 12 students were welcomed to first day of classes with encouraging words stamped on their lockers. Some sticky notes read, “we are lucky to have you,” and “welcome home.”

Soon-to-be graduating student Nicholas Waditaka, who has been attending Carlton since Grade 9, said high school has given him the opportunity to explore his interests.  

He encourages new students to meet friends by taking advantage of extra-curricular activities offered at school.

“You never know who you’re going to keep in your life as you move on,” he said.

Waditaka plans on attending university for a few years and then train to become an RCMP officer.

David Lokinger, the vice principal of the school, said staff encourages students to take advantage of the nearly 40 extra-curricular clubs offered.

“We provide an atmosphere and environment of caring, where students have the opportunity to become comfortable so that they can take risks and become who they are,” he said, adding that today is no different than any other day and he hopes students will feel the same level of encouragement throughout the year.
