WESTLOCK – RF Staples High School teacher Jessica Stevens has been recognized with the Exemplary Teacher Award, an honour given by the Pembina Hills School Division to educators who go above and beyond for their students and school communities.

Stevens, a junior math and electives teacher, was nominated by a student and celebrated during a recognition event at the school on March 12.

Her nomination described her as an educator who inspires a passion for lifelong learning, not just in her students but throughout the entire school.

“A teacher that ignites passion to lifelong learning, not just for her students but for the entire school community—this is the essence of Jessica Stevens,” read a portion of the nomination.

Stevens is known for her commitment to fostering independent thinking and encouraging students to explore their interests. She has introduced students to a variety of activities, including curling and other sports, and is recognized for her willingness to step outside the standard curriculum to support student growth.

Beyond the classroom, Stevens is a dedicated mentor and an enthusiastic presence at school events. She has participated in ski trips, pep rallies, and school dances and has played a key role in leading various school initiatives. Her signature red sequin jacket has become a symbol of her school spirit and unwavering commitment to RF Staples students.

Her peers describe her as deeply respected for her positive attitude and tireless motivation, consistently going above and beyond for her students and the school community.

The Pembina Hills School Division accepts nominations for the Exemplary Achievement Awards for employees, volunteers, contractors, or community partners making a significant impact. Nominations for this school year are open until May 26.
