Farewell and Fond Memories: Celebrating Mr. Caukill's Retirement!

The halls of Sundre High will feel a little emptier come next year. After an incredible 33 years of inspiring young minds, Mr. Caukill has decided to embark on a well-deserved retirement. But Mr. Caukill's journey as an educator extends far beyond our walls. His dedication to learning began in N.W. British Columbia, where he first stepped into the classroom. From there, his passion for teaching took him on an adventure, enriching classrooms across Alberta. Schools like Sundre Elementary (now RVS), Pelly Bay (N.W.T.), Didsbury, Bowden, Elnora, Spruceview, and of course, Sundre High School, all benefited from Mr. Caukill's experience – some even multiple times! Throughout his career, he has worn many hats – teacher, vice-principal, and principal – demonstrating his unwavering commitment to education.

Everywhere he went, Mr. Caukill brought a wealth of experience and a global perspective to his lessons. He instilled in countless students a love for learning and a curiosity for the world. Whether it was sparking a fascination with a specific topic or helping students discover their own hidden talents, Mr. Caukill has left a lasting impact on all who have been fortunate enough to learn from him.

We at Sundre High School are incredibly grateful for Mr. Caukill's dedication to our school community. His passion, enthusiasm, and commitment to student success will be deeply missed. We wish Mr. Caukill all the best in his retirement. We have no doubt that he will continue to inspire and educate, whether it's through travel, volunteering, or simply spending time with loved ones.

On behalf of the entire Sundre High School community, thank you, Mr. Caukill!
