Math, Agriculture & Robotics

Hello! 
My name is Ms. Arner, and I have been teaching in Fort McMurray since 2010! I have taught Junior High for a number of years, and this year I am happy to be teaching High School. My main focus is math, but I am also running an Agriculture program this year! 


I was born and raised in London, Ontario, but Alberta has been my home for quite some time now. I love spending time with my two children and two golden retrievers! 
I am excited for this year, and to continue and build relationships with all the students!

Division Notice

ATA Strike Commencing on Monday; School Closures Starting Oct 6th

As a result of the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) rejecting a proposed deal from the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA), all FMPSD schools will be closed to students starting Monday, October 6, 2025, unless a new agreement is reached or strike action is otherwise averted. Additionally, all yellow school bus routes will be suspended for the duration of the strike.

In light of the ongoing strike, all extracurricular activities, including sports, clubs, and after-school programs, will be temporarily suspended.

As there is no definitive end date for the strike, FMPSD is unable to provide a timeline for when normal operations will resume. We will continue to provide timely updates as we receive them from the Ministry of Education and Child Care.
