Word from the Alumni Administration Team Dear Quebec High School Alumni,
This past year was an adjustment year for our new Alumni Foundation team, and through it all our team came together with dedication and spirit. We were thrilled to host another successful Alumni Golf Tournament with a fantastic turnout, welcoming many new corporate sponsors alongside our long- time supporters. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the alumni who joined us at the tournament and to every corporate sponsor, new and returning, for your continued generosity and partnership. Your involvement continues to strengthen our community and directly benefit the students of Quebec High School. We also made a major step forward by moving both our donation platform and golf tournament registration to CanadaHelps. This transition allows our supporters to donate and register online quickly and securely while helping us reduce printing and mailing costs. This ensures that more of your contributions go directly toward student programs and initiatives. We are grateful to all alumni who have embraced this digital shift and continue to champion the Foundation’s mission. With these improvements in place, our team is energized and ready for a new school year, eager to support exciting projects, invest in our students’ success, and keep the proud QHS spirit alive.
Regards, The Alumni Foundation Team

Thank you QHS Alumni - Another Successful Mini-Leadership Class
Having a Junior Leadership class at the high school level provides students with the opportunity to develop essential life skills that go far beyond academics. It empowers them to take initiative, collaborate effectively, and contribute meaningfully to their school community. Through hands-on projects, event planning, and mentorship, students learn what it means to lead with responsibility and empathy. These experiences help build confidence and prepare them to take on leadership roles both inside and outside the classroom. Beyond individual growth, a Junior Leadership program strengthens the overall school culture. When students are given the tools and trust to lead, they become role models for their peers and active contributors to a positive, inclusive environment. They help organize events, support school spirit, and foster connections between grades — all of which contribute to a stronger sense of community and pride within the school. In education, we don’t usually use “return on investment” to gauge the success of an option course. But if we did, the numbers for this one would be off the charts! The skills being taught to these students and the bonds formed throughout the year have led to a noticeable increase in student engagement. “When you take 30% of a cohort and begin working with them on leadership skills, you’re going to see positive results — a stronger sense of belonging to the school, fewer disciplinary issues, and greater overall engagement among the student body. These students become role models, reflecting the positive attributes that we as a staff strive to instill in all our learners,” said Principal Breton.

Leadership Class Outcomes Development of communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills Increased student engagement and ownership of school activities A more positive and connected school culture driven by student leadership
As we have in previous years, we used the first two days of the leadership camp to show and prepare our students to host a 1-day mini-leadership camp for Holland Elementary grade 5-6 students. A day of team building challenges and activities gave these Holland students a taste of what is to come when they reach the high school level. A big shout out to Ms. Marsh and her team of volunteers for helping make this a highlight of the year for the QHS Leadership Class students.

For students and staff, the end of the school year brings graduations, awards ceremonies, and the anticipation of well-deserved summer holidays. But there is no rest for the weary when it comes to administrators, as the end of one year means it’s time to start planning for the next. One of the biggest items on the to-do list is replacing teachers who have retired or decided to move away from Quebec City. QHS Principal Paula Breton looked ahead and realized she would need about five new full-time teachers to begin the 2025–26 school year. Little did she know, she was about to experience something no other principal had encountered before at Quebec High School.
“Well that is a first, and it is good news, no, it’s amazing news!” said community development agent Ed Sweeney when principal Breton told him that this week she interviewed 3 QHS Alumni, offered them each a job, and then received word that each had accepted her offer. So, joining the ranks of QHS as staff members are Kelly Eden, Class of 2019, Ben McBain, Class of 2018, and Laurie Thibault, Class of 2016. Three proud Quebec High School alumni returning to give back to the community that helped shape them. Ben McBain, now teaching Math and Science, was once known for his leadership both in the classroom and on the basketball court. Laurie, who has stepped into the role of Drama teacher, brings her trademark creativity and enthusiasm that once lit up QHS performances. Kelly, teaching History and Geography, returns with the same curiosity and passion for learning that made her a standout student. Each deeply engaged in student life, and always ready to volunteer when needed. Together, they embody the spirit of what it means to be a QHS graduate — dedicated, community-minded, and proud to carry their school’s legacy forward. “With new hires, it sometimes takes a while for them to learn the QHS way — but for these ‘New Kids on the Block,’ it’s built into their DNA,” said Sweeney.
Kelly Eden
QHS Class of 2019
Returning to Quebec High School this year as a teacher marks a full-circle moment for Kelly Eden. A proud QHS graduate from the class of 2019, Kelly credits her years at the school for helping shape both her character and her path toward education.
During her time at QHS, Kelly could often be found in the pit—especially on the basketball court—where she developed teamwork, perseverance, and school spirit. Earning her “wings” became a proud symbol of dedication to the QHS athletic community. Beyond athletics, they immersed themselves in a range of experiences, including the Outdoor Education program, student council, student exchanges, a humanitarian trip to Ecuador, and the leadership program. Each of these opportunities, many made possible through finanancial support from the Alumni Foundation, helped Kelly grow as a leader and discover her passion for helping others succeed. After graduating, Kelly attended CEGEP Champlain–St. Lawrence in the Arts, Literature, and Communications program before pursuing a double major in Secondary Education and English Literature at McGill University. Even beyond high school, the lessons and sense of belonging she found at QHS continued to guide her, inspiring active involvement in campus life and a commitment to community. Now, as a first-year teacher, walking the same halls feels both nostalgic and inspiring. “It really feels like coming home,” Kelly says. “Being able to give back to the place that gave me so much is an incredible feeling.”
Kelly (#44), proudly wore the Blue and Gold uniform as a member of the basketball and soccer teams at QHS.
For Kelly, Quebec High School remains more than just a workplace—it’s a community that helped shape her dreams and now gives her the chance to help the next generation discover theirs.

Laurie Thibault
QHS Class of 2016
“It’s my turn,” is what Laurie Thibeault tells herself as she returns to QHS, this time as a teacher. A proud QHS alumna who graduated in 2016, Laurie was deeply involved in the student life with sports, performing arts, outdoor-ed, and the student council. She truly lived and breathed QHS. During her years at QHS, Laurie embraced all opportunities that came her way. She played basketball, soccer, and eventually, rugby. She also took part in many school productions such as Bugsy Malone, The Little Mermaid, Footloose, and Beauty and the Beast. She joined a humanitarian trip to Guatemala and was amongst the first cohort to partake in Outdoor ed. Through all this, Laurie was also an active member of the student council and strived to make the school a better place for her peers. Looking back, Laurie recognizes the tremendous impact the English community and the Alumni foundation had on her school experience since most of these activities were made possible through their support. After graduating, Laurie did not directly go into teaching, wanting to become a Marine Biologist. She went to CEGEP Champlain Saint Lawrence in Science and began a B.A. in Biology at Laval University. It was after two years of studies that she realized she missed her artistic side. She also realized how deeply she valued the sense of community she had experienced at Quebec High School. This realization prompted her to change career paths and study to become an English Language Arts teacher at Bishop’s University. As a first-year teacher, Laurie now realizes that the torch has been passed to her. Her goal is to honor the legacy that shaped her and to ensure that her students’ experience is as great and meaningful as hers was.

Ben McBain
QHS Class of 2018
Of the three “New Kids on the Block,” Ben has the longest QHS family lineage — roots that go back to when the QHS building still had that “new car smell.” His grandfather, Lloyd (Class of 1949), his father, John (Class of 1982), his brother, William (Class of 2008), and his sister, Hannah (Class of 2010), all attended QHS. “Quebec High has been a home away from home for me for many years. I spent five years coming to watch my sister play basketball before I even started here. So when I arrived in Grade 7, I already knew many of the teachers, even those who taught in the senior grades,” he said when asked to reflect on his time at QHS.
The Class of 2018 was the largest cohort Quebec High School had seen in many years. The gym was not big enough to host their graduation, so the celebration had to be held offsite to mark their achievement. It was a high-performing group, and Ben was right near the top when it came to academics. His hard work and dedication also shone through as a member of the Blazer basketball and soccer teams. He later went on to play for CEGEP St. Lawrence, along with several other Blazer graduates. After three years at CEGEP, Ben enrolled in the four-year Bachelor of Education (math major) program at Bishop’s University. Throughout his university years, Ben could often be found in the QHS gym coaching basketball or on the field coaching ultimate frisbee. Returning to his alma mater, volunteering to coach, and giving back to QHS came naturally to him.
This is not the first time that Ben McBain graced the pages of the Blue and Gold Magazine. In 2018 he was highlighted on the front page of the 2018 Winter/Spring edition. Pictured right, we see Ben, in his senior year, wearing number 11 soaring high to win the jump ball in a game at Quebec High. Although Ben has a full workload teaching Math, he still makes time to lend a hand with the basketball concentration program in the mornings before school starts. “Ben has been a great addition to the athletic staff. Watching him work with our student-athletes I can see that he is a natural teacher” said QHS Athletic Director, Ricky Dwyer.

Three Planes, One Bus, Two Ferries
One of the exciting opportunities available to students at QHS is the chance to participate in student exchanges. Over the years, our students have shared our school, our city, and our culture with peers from St. John’s (NL), Ottawa (ON), Barnwell (AB), Fort Hope (ON), Edmonton (AB), Charlottetown (PE), Vancouver (BC), and many other communities. Each trip is made possible through the YMCA’s Youth Exchanges Program.
As the herring arrive, so does the wildlife. Sea lions, seals, bald eagles, and even orcas gather to feed in a frenzy of sound and movement. For the QHS group, witnessing this natural wonder was unforgettable — a powerful reminder of how alive and interconnected Canada’s coastal ecosystems truly are. Unfortunately, the arrival of the herring run also means that many fishing boats head out to catch them — much to the dismay of many island residents. “I remember when the spawning grounds stretched all along the Vancouver coast and extended north as well. We can see a dramatic decrease in the size of the spawning area, which means fewer herring,” said boat captain Rob Zielinsky, speaking to the QHS students about the growing threat of overfishing during the herring spawn season. For many reading this story, you may remember a time on the East Coast of Canada when a fishery was “fished” into the ground and the cod stocks were depleted so severely that, on July 2, 1992, the Federal Government established a moratorium. To this day, the northern cod fishery has never returned to the abundance it once enjoyed.
The goal of the program is to give students from one part of Canada the opportunity to experience the culture and realities of students from another. QHS, located in the heart of Quebec City, is a sought-after destination for many schools across the country. The city’s cultural richness, language, and historic charm make an exchange with QHS especially popular. This year the YMCA paired us with Hornby Island, British Columbia — a destination that initially had our chaperones asking, “Where’s that?” Well, after three planes, one bus, and two ferry rides, we found out where this magical place was. Approximately three and a half hours up the east coast of Vancouver Island, travelers reach the first of two ferry crossings that lead to Hornby Island. This year, it was our school’s turn to travel first. That always comes with a few apprehensions about how well the students will mix and get to know each other. But not with this group — they hit the ground running, and by the end of the first day of activities, you would have thought these students from opposite ends of the country had been lifelong friends. The warm reception we received from the Hornby School set the table for what would be a fun week of activities and the creation of new friends. What the contingent from QHS didn’t fully realize was that they were about to experience an ecological wonder. Each spring, usually in early March, the waters around Hornby Island burst to life with one of nature’s most stunning events — the Pacific herring spawn. Millions of shimmering herring return to the island’s shallow bays to lay their eggs, turning the ocean a brilliant turquoise-blue. The scene looks almost unreal — like something out of a National Geographic documentary.
Hearing about the plight of the herring fishery struck a chord with the QHS students and set in motion something the chaperones from both schools hadn’t anticipated. “We need to reach out to our local Member of Parliament and invite him to come to the school to hear our concerns about what we learned here in Hornby,” said one of the QHS students. With a federal election underway, there was a good chance that our local MP, Yves Duclos, would be in the riding. An invitation was sent to the minister’s office, and just a few days later, a call came from his assistant confirming that the Minister was looking forward to meeting the students from both schools and learning about their concerns regarding the herring stocks in British Columbia. To say there was a buzz in the air would be an understatement.

Community Service
One of the key components of a YMCA exchange is that, whether you’re visiting another part of Canada or hosting students here in Quebec, a full day of community service must be planned for all participants.
This volunteering element is an essential part of the experience. It encourages students to connect with their host community in a meaningful way, fostering empathy, teamwork, and a sense of civic responsibility. By contributing their time and effort, students learn that giving back is just as rewarding as receiving new experiences. It also allows them to see firsthand how small actions — like cleaning a local park, helping at a food bank, or supporting a community event — can make a real difference. For many participants, the community service day becomes one of the most memorable and impactful parts of the exchange. It strengthens the bonds between visiting and host students, promotes understanding across regions, and helps young people develop a lifelong appreciation for volunteering and community engagement.

Federal Minister Yves Duclos Visits QHS
In preparation for the visit of Liberal Minister Yves Duclos, Hornby Island student Eva Zielinski and QHS student Hugo Turner-Dufour prepared a slideshow presentation featuring data on the reduction of herring stocks and what they identified as overfishing during the spawning season. Eva shared that her family makes a living on the ocean and has witnessed firsthand the shrinking spawning grounds. “The herring are at the bottom of a long food chain—eagles, seals, sea lions, salmon, bears, and orca whales all depend on a healthy herring population,” she explained. Minister Duclos, a former Laval University professor, sat in the front row and, like a good student, had a notebook in hand, taking notes throughout the presentation. “This was an incredible opportunity for us as educators to teach the students how to approach our local elected representatives. The students sent an official request to the Minister and were thrilled when they received confirmation that he would gladly come and listen to their concerns. From there, they got to work and began preparing their joint presentation,” said QHS chaperone Chantal Lacasse. After the presentation, Minister Duclos held a 30-minute question-and-answer session with the students. “I am very impressed and encouraged by this presentation. It is important that students participate like you have here today,” Duclos told them. The presentation concluded with an official request from the students that the Minister help relay their message to the Federal Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, the Hon. Diane Lebouthillier. “I’ve taken notes, and I would like you to send me your PowerPoint. I commit to you today that I will have a conversation with my colleague at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and you will receive a reply,” Minister Duclos assured them.

DARE Art Exhibit The Quebec High School DARE Art Exhibit, held in collaboration with the City of Quebec, was a resounding success, drawing nearly 250 guests to its vibrant opening night. The event served as a celebration of creativity, passion, and artistic growth, providing students with an invaluable opportunity to showcase
The Key 2025 A big thank you to the Alumni for helping finance the cost of the yearbook. Although pictures of activities, projects, and sporting events are often shared on Facebook and other social media platforms, there’s nothing quite like seeing students at the end of the year walking through the halls with their yearbook in hand — laughing as they flip through the pages and relive the many memories captured throughout the year. The sound of excitement as friends point out photos, sign messages, and recall shared moments is something that no digital post can replace. Creating a high school yearbook is more than just assembling photos and text — it’s about preserving a moment in time. Each page reflects the energy, creativity, and spirit of the school community. It celebrates the triumphs, the laughter, the friendships, and even the challenges that define a school year. For the students who work tirelessly to produce it, the yearbook becomes a lasting gift to their peers — a tangible piece of history that future generations will flip through to remember what QHS life was like in that moment. The process itself fosters
their talents in a professional gallery setting. For many young artists, it was their first experience exhibiting their work to the public—a moment that inspired confidence and pride while reinforcing the importance of the arts in education. The quality and variety of the artwork on display reflected both the imagination and the technical skill of QHS students. From intricate sketches to bold mixed-media pieces, each creation told a unique story and revealed the emerging voices of young artists learning to express themselves through visual form. Teachers Ms. St. Aubin and Ms. Palmer played a key role in guiding and preparing students for the exhibit, encouraging them to take creative risks and develop their personal artistic styles. Their mentorship and dedication were evident in every piece presented. Adding to the evening’s ambiance, Mr. Domonkos and Mr. Rompré, along with students from the Music Concentration program, provided live music that perfectly complemented the gallery atmosphere. Their performances helped create a warm and celebratory tone throughout the evening. The DARE Exhibit not only highlighted the artistic excellence of QHS students but also underscored the value of community partnerships in fostering creativity and supporting the next generation of artists. Thank you QHS Alumni for your continued support of the Arts!
collaboration and pride. From choosing layouts and writing captions to capturing candid photos and designing the perfect cover, every decision is made with care. The final product isn’t just a book — it’s a story of belonging, growth, and shared experience, bound together for generations to come.

Ski Trip 2025 - Lake Placid, New York by Joey Maquire, QHS Gym teacher
One of the best parts of teaching gym at QHS is having the ability and the freedom to offer extracurricular activities to our students. With the support of the administration and a generous financial donation from the QHS Alumni, we were able to reduce the cost of the annual ski trip to Lake Placid and provide a wonderful three-day adventure for 45 ski enthusiasts. Trips like this are more than just a break from the classroom — they’re a chance for students to challenge themselves, build confidence, and create lasting memories with friends and teachers. For many, it’s an opportunity to experience world-class slopes and a vibrant mountain culture that they might not otherwise have access to. Beyond the skiing itself, students learn teamwork, independence, and the value of stepping outside their comfort zone. Offering experiences like the Lake Placid trip reflects what makes QHS so special: a commitment to learning that goes beyond textbooks. Whether on the chairlift, carving down a slope, or laughing together after a long day on the mountain, students strengthen bonds and gain experiences that will stay with them long after graduation. On behalf of the Blazers Improv Team, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our improv programs. Your contribution has opened doors for our students to grow, explore, and shine in ways we never imagined. Thanks to your ongoing support, our students had the incredible opportunity to travel across the region—and even to Ontario! Along the way, they met new people, discovered new places, and created unforgettable memories. These experiences have helped them develop creativity, confidence, and communication skills in both French and English. This year also marked an exciting milestone: the addition of our French improv team. With this new team, QHS is gaining recognition throughout the Capitale-Nationale region. Our students are standing out not only for their talent but also for their energy, kindness, and remarkable team spirit. We are thrilled to continue this momentum with the addition of another new team this year, bringing the total to three QHS improv teams for the 2025–2026 season. Your generosity has made all of this possible, and we are truly grateful for the lasting impact you’ve had on our students’ growth and their love for the arts. With sincere appreciation, The Blazers Improv Blazer Improv Team by Cynthia Gagnon, QHS Improv Coach

Teacher Spotlight Matt Smith
Hailing from Wingham, Ontario—located approximately two and a half hours northwest of Toronto—Matt Smith taught Math and Science at his alma mater, F.E. Madill Secondary School. Wingham, with a population of approximately 3,500, is home to the only high school in the region. As a result, Madill Secondary welcomes students from rural communities within a 35-kilometer radius across southwestern Ontario. With recent changes in school population size, it was announced that Matt would be transferred to another high school within his school board for the 2022-23 school year. The move would require a 45-minute commute—manageable, but far from ideal. The challenge, compounded by the area’s proximity to Lake Huron, as this region is famously known as the “snow belt,” where frequent highway closures and hazardous winter driving conditions are a yearly reality.
In May of 2022, Matt Smith and his family found themselves visiting relatives in Quebec City. When he shared his concerns about the upcoming school year and the position he was facing, a family member half-jokingly said, “Hey, why not take a sabbatical and come teach here in Quebec City for a year?” The seed was planted—and it didn’t take long to grow. QHS principal at the time, Warren Thomson, did a fist pump when he heard the news that Matt was asking for approval from his employer to take some time off. With a job opening in the Math-Science department still unfilled, Thomson was overjoyed at possibily having someone with 16 years of experience apply on the position. After receiving approval for a one-year leave of absence without pay from his school board, Matt applied for a Math-Science position at Quebec High School. One thing led to another, and before long, the moving truck was rolling down Highway 401 toward a new adventure in Quebec City. While Matt began teaching at QHS, his children—Claire, Tessa, and Elliot—were enrolled at Holland Elementary School. His wife, Lindsay, an occupational therapist, continued her work remotely for her Ontario employer. QHS teacher D.J. Awalt mentioned that a condo was available for rent in his building, conveniently located right across the street from QHS. Just like that, Matt went from potentially facing a 45-minute commute in Ontario to a 45-second walk to work—shorter if he caught the light on René-Lévesque or St. Cyrille (for those who know the area!). In their first year, the Smiths dove into all that Quebec City has to offer. “There are so many things for young families—it’s a great city to raise a family,” said Lindsay. That positive experience led Matt to request a second one-year leave of absence from his Ontario school board. Year two only deepened their love for the city, leading Matt to call a family meeting to discuss their future— whether to return to Ontario or make Quebec City their permanent home. “We’re not voting to stay for just one more year,” he told them. “It’s either we pack up and head back, or I cut ties with my Ontario board and we commit to staying.” The outcome is clear— since you’re reading this story, you know which way the vote went. “Quebec City offers so much for our family, and my kids
are embracing every opportunity,” said Smith. “Learning a second language has been a challenge, but it’s pushed them out of their comfort zone—and they’ve truly grown from it.” Matt, too, is embracing this big change. Now in his fourth year at QHS, he has become an important part of the QHS family. He helps spearhead the annual Open House and has played a major role in bringing volleyball back to the school. This year, QHS proudly has two teams officially enrolled in the RSEQ league. “We started small, but the numbers have grown over the past two years, and this year we knew we could commit to registering teams in the league,” he said. “This was made possible

through support from the Quebec High administration and the athletic director, Mr. Ricky Dwyer,” added Smith. Ontario’s loss is Quebec High’s gain!
