Holy Family Catholic Regional Division has nominated a Fairview school teacher for the 2024-25 Alberta Excellence in Catholic Education Award.
St. Thomas More School teacher Lori Fox was announced as the Division’s nomination, in a Holy Family news release May 1.
The prestigious provincial award is annually presented by the Council of Catholic School Superintendents of Alberta (CCSSA) to honour teachers who inspire students, nurture faith and demonstrate a deep commitment to Catholic Education.
Fox was selected to represent Holy Family for her remarkable service, humility and lasting impact on both the school and the greater community.
Over the years, she has quietly led by example, building strong relationships, supporting Indigenous communities and consistently advocating for the well-being of all students.
Supt. Betty Turpin commends Fox for her unwavering faith and leadership.
“Lori embodies the spirit of Catholic education through her selfless service, compassion and quiet strength,” Turpin says.
“We are honoured to have her represent our Division.”
School principal Thomas Fraser says Fox is well qualified for the nomination.
“Lori prefers to be the right hand (Matthew 6:3) of everything she does and stray away from any limelight or recognition,” Fraser says.
“She is a pillar of the positive and thriving school and community that we are blessed to be part of in Fairview.”
The winner of the award was scheduled to be announced May 1 at the CCSSA’s Sharing Purpose in Catholic Education (SPICE) retreat in Kananaskis.
