Happy 30th anniversary, WPGA! I have had the good fortune to be part of 24 of those 30 years, having started working here in 2002. During that time, we have grown from a small staff with aging facilities (hoping students would enrol at the time!) to a vibrant community with a large staff, outstanding facilities, and continued widespread interest in attending our amazing school.

As I prepare to retire in 2027, I feel confident that the school is in very good hands. We have a wonderful staff who will continue many of our valued traditions while creating new ones of their own. We are also fortunate to have caring families and students who contribute to our strong sense of community and strive for excellence alongside our staff and administration. It has been wonderful to witness the school grow and evolve in such a positive way.

All the Best,
 
Margot
