Inspiring Alumni

During a time of immense change, uncertainty, and strain this year, community, relationships and connections were more important than ever to our STS family. 

Congratulations to STS alumnus and co-founder of Monogram Coffee, Jeremy Ho '05 for being recognized as one of Avenue Calgary's 2020 Top 40 under 40!

Nil Nisi Optimum (NNO) Alumni are selected from a multitude of decades and professions, and have brought great honour and pride to their alma mater. This year, three more alumni who have demonstrated notable accomplishments in leadership, service and dedication to their professions and community joined this prestigious group. 

It is our pleasure to announce that Mr. Paul Storwick ’78 has been selected as the recipient of the Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School (STS) 2020 Distinguished Alumni Award – the highest honour the School bestows upon its alumni. 

Taking on the future of opera may sound like a grand mission to some, but to STS alumna Taryn Plater '13, it's exactly the type of challenge she's ready to break into. 

The sense of community at Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School (STS) is deep, crossing multiple generations. Todd and Esther Worsley say they are “big fans of the STS community” not only for the great education in the classroom, but for the caring relationships that develop between teachers, staff, and students.

It is our pleasure to announce that Mrs. Sloan Pipella-Clark '81 has been selected as the recipient of the Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School (STS) 2019 Distinguished Alumni Award – the highest honour the School bestows upon its alumni. 

It's the feeling STS alumna Aimee-Jo Benoit '97 has every time she comes to the School that has kept her coming back. And it's the memories of her experiences and the nostalgia it creates that spurred Aimee-Jo to take on the role of Chair of the Alumni Events Committee. 

One may not normally think of tax law as a global community-minded profession, but STS alumna Miriam (“Ria”) Paul Thacker ’94 has made her role at Google just that. 

STS alumni Myles Chase '15 and Scott Wilson '15 want to start a conversation. The two university students have begun a non-profit organization, Open Arms, as a way to educate high school and post-secondary students on the importance of mental health and supporting friends through difficult times. 

Two of our esteemed alumni have been awarded honorary doctorates this month from the University of Calgary.

While STS has been using momentum to move forward, Michael McNeil Forbes '94 has created a different kind of momentum in the scientific community - a negative-mass fluid, where forward momentum can mean moving backwards. 

As Founder and President of REAP (Respect for the Earth and All People), a Calgary-based business association focusing on improving communities and the environment, STS alumna Stephanie Jackman '90 is working to create a greener and brighter economic landscape in Calgary, one business at a time. 

It is our pleasure to announce that Ms. Pam Heard ’73 has been selected as the recipient of the Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School (STS) 2018 Distinguished Alumni Award.
