From Kilbride Public School to Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary School and eventually Yale University, Olivia Muhn’s journey has been defined not by choosing a single path, but by learning how to walk many at once. 

March 3, 2026 - The Halton District School Board (HDSB) will host the 34th annual Halton Skills Competition, providing elementary and secondary students with hands-on opportunities to showcase their skills in technological and skilled trades challenges.

For Jessica Clement, the journey from growing up in Aldershot to building a career in film, television and arts education has been anything but linear, and that’s exactly how she knows she’s on the right path.

The auditorium at Aldershot School was filled with the sounds of community and collaboration as students from the Aldershot School and nearby elementary schools shared the stage with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra (HPO).

More than 250 students in Grades 5–8 from 35 Halton District School Board schools gathered alongside approximately 60 educators for a day of learning, collaboration and action focused on climate change and sustainability. The Climate Innovators Youth Forum hosted in partnership with Learning for a Sustainable Future brought together student leaders and educators to explore real-world environmental challenges and develop practical solutions they can take back to their school communities.

HDSB students are getting a head start on their futures! We recently visited Oakville Trafalgar High School for the Ontario Career Lab and Career Conversations, an initiative that connects Grade 10 students with volunteer Career Coaches for real-world insights into different career pathways.

In this video, staff and students share how these small-group discussions help students build confidence and discover new possibilities for life after graduation.

Thank you to HIEC for their partnership in bringing this valuable program to our schools!

P.L. Robertson Public School was filled with curiosity, imagination and thoughtful conversation on Feb. 5, as students and families gathered for the For the Love of Reading: Family Literacy Night.
