Montcrest School NOTABLE ALUMNI

There's an enthusiasm for learning and enthusiasm for each other, I think that is remarkable about the school. And that was apparent when I was a student there, which was quite a while ago: ‘94, ‘95. And that aspect hasn't changed. Some of the teachers that I had are still there. The culture has remained, it's consistent. And so coming back so many years later to find  the facilities are upgraded, there's a lot of things that are different, but it's still the same place.

Now, as a master’s of social work student, and learning about the importance of connection, community, and having adults that care for you during childhood, it's really made me appreciate having that in my life at school. And I think that really did help me have this strong foundation to build my sense of self and my well-being throughout my childhood. ... I most appreciated the community, and especially the teachers, during my time at Montcrest. I felt very cared for and seen by all of the teachers. 

My friends and I still say, to this day, that we wish Montcrest were also a high school. It was really hard leaving the school. I loved it so much. But I also think, of course, I appreciated the influence it has on my life to this day. And I find that just going to the school has reflected in my success in high school today for so many different reasons. And I'm happy with myself, happy with how I'm doing in high school. And that’s all because of Montcrest.
