Ross Sheppard School

Went here from 2016 - 2018, never encountered bullying here, lots and lots of students. Having a mall, the transit station, and skating rink plus work out facilities within walking distance made this school super fun. Always something to do! Sheptacular and totem hoop were the best times of the school year! I miss it so much!

Shep is one of the most elite secondary schools in Edmonton. The math and science departments are extremely strong—with many passionate teachers not only capable of preparing students for university, but serving as a beacon of inspiration for many future endeavours. Various topics introduced (for student interest only) in my physics and chemistry high school classes provided a great foundation for many of my university level science courses. Shep has an elite fine arts program as well, providing the healthy balance essential for shaping a well-rounded individual. One of Shep’s most notably distinct characteristics during my high school career was the lack of a social hierarchy within the student body. There were no distinctions between nerd and jock, cool kids or outcasts. Everyone gets along with everyone, and thus the school celebrates a diverse array of backgrounds, disciplines, and ideas. Shep offers many clubs and initiatives for extracurricular activity, and many opportunities to begin building a portfolio at a young age. During my tenure as a student here, I did not realize the caliber of this school. It was not until I started meeting people in university that I realized how fortunate I am to have attended Shep. This high school lays a brilliant foundation, and provides an advantage for students pursuing tertiary education. Shep is unlike any other high school—a virtue to be celebrated. To current and future T-Birds: make the most of your time here because if you don’t, there will be one day you wish you did. To Shep teachers and staff: continue to motivate and inspire students, laying the foundation for our future generations.

I love this place? The spirit is something else. I love the staff as long as you do your work, you will do great. I wouldn’t want any other high school❤️ Thank you Shep!

Went to this school and graduated last year(class of 2017). Love the atmosphere there and you get a chance to shine. I miss being and I highly recommend
