Sara Smith

My name is Sara Smith and I have been a teacher at École McTavish Public High since it first opened in 2011. I moved to Fort McMurray from Newfoundland in 2008, just two days after completing my final exams at University. I graduated from MUN with a Bachelor of Arts (French/Geography), as well as a Bachelor of Education (Primary/Elementary). While I have taught mainly in the area of junior high humanities and arts over my career, I am thrilled to be the head of the Art program here at our school. I take this position with care and a passion to expand our students' level of skills, comfort and creativity within our building, out in our community and beyond. I am a lifelong learner and enjoy spending my days watching the spark ignite in a student's eye. Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my children and family, and doing anything we can to enjoy life up here in the north!
