Our Holy Spirit Team

All Alberta Catholic school divisions have been asked to form a GrACE team that advocates for Catholic education. Holy Spirit Catholic School Division's GrACE group was formed on May 29, 2019 and is made up of parents, clergy, trustees and a variety of staff members. Their unique perspectivies these individuals bring towards advocating for Catholic Education in our school divison are invaluable.
