The teachers at this school are amazing, especially Mrs. Myrick. As a person who despises English,…read moreshe made it enjoyable. Her acknowledgment of the class' difficulty and annoying nature made it feel more comfortable to be in that class. The way she described concepts and understood how students interpret novels makes her one of the best English teachers I've personally ever had. In addition to that, she is incredible as a person. Making jokes, defending kids, and being overall kind is what makes her unforgettable. So in conclusion, if you ever want to write a thesis statement and maybe have some fun, she's the teacher you want to have!

I spent my Junior High years at D.S. MacKenzie…read more Although I wasn't the most popular kid, I still love the school. Something that was really great about D.S. was the teachers. The majority of them felt like my friends. I remember having heart-to-hearts with a few of them throughout my years there and it was really great. It was nice to have support. I know that they've renovated over the years, so I'm not sure if it's still there - but I hope it is - The Wall of Fame! The Wall of Fame is where all the school athletes who won races, championships, etc, had their pictures hung. I was a 3 time girls' basketball champ so I'm very proud to be on that wall (if it's still there)! I know that the quality of teachers is still very high at D.S. because I have friends that I went there with, who are now teachers there. They know how valuable our ear there so I'm sure they are working hard to give today's students the same great experiences we had. Great school!

I never actually went to this school but when I was younger I used to go to the park here and it…read morewas awesome. I remember back then parks were actually fun. Nowadays they focus way too much on safety and take out anything that could be remotely dangerous.. I guess that's a sigh of relief for parents but kids just want to play. Now the park has been completely modified. It's much smaller and they have taken out all the best things, like the giant tires, and replaced them with swings and other boring stuff. The school does have a huge playground though, with a few soccer fields and baseball diamond. It's great for anyone that likes to organize their own games with their friends on the weekends.

We're allowed to review our own high schools right? I mean, you can't really give a school a rating…read moreunless you've been there. And I promise to keep as objective as possible. Overall, I don't think I regret spending my "good years" at Shep, even if a lot of my friends went to other high schools on the north side of town. While it wasn't the same without peers I really knew, Shep still had its good qualities. They have an amazing department of staff who really know their stuff. The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is available here, full and partial, along with one of the best drama and music school programs in the city. Of course, it wasn't just all about the arts; Shep has a kick-ass football and basketball team too. As a result, it's a very competitive school. I think it's always in silent rivalry with Archbishop and Old Strathcona. The school has two floors, with a library and study space on each level. Cafeteria space is limited but serves decent lunch surprises, if my memory hasn't faded completely. The school gym is also equipped with a full-fledged fitness centre for students, to ensure physical health in addition to mental and intelluctual stimulation. Shep also has a great location, right in between the Woodcroft and Westmount areas. The Westmount shopping centre (notice I didn't say mall) is across the street, and the bus terminal is right outside the school parking lot. The Woodcroft library is just across the football field, and the school is also conveniently located beside the Peter Hemingway pool and fitness centre, and Coronation Park. After all, it's all about location, location, location. So I'm proud to say that Shep was my high school. The IB program really helped me prepare for university, as it got me into my study habits early. I still remember some of my teachers here, from time to time. They're the teachers who really stand out in my memory, and who I believe helped make a difference in my life. Thanks for the memories, Ross Shep!

The school itself is well maintained, with the bathrooms being kinda clean for a middle school, floors are messy but I guess that's normal.

The best part about this school is the students. Everyone knows everyone and everyone pretty much gets a long. That's how I remember it anyways. The inside is a square shape so it is pretty easy to find your way around. They also had a snack shack which had some great snacks at lunch. These were the good old days when no one had a care in the world.
