Prime Minister Award

It is our pleasure to announce that one of our own teachers, Jody Rideout, has been named as a recipient of the 2026 Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence!  Jody teaches Drama and English here at WVH. As one of his student nominators said, "He always motivates us to try our best and be confident in our acting skills. He also teaches us important lessons, such as to take chances and not care what others think. He is one of the best teachers and role models I have ever had." We are so proud of Jody whose dedication, innovation and leadership has made a meaningful difference in the lives of students.
