Principal's Message

Welcome to McKernan!  

It is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to McKernan School.  Whether you are a student, parent, staff member, community member or prospective Mustang, you are family! The best thing about family is that the richness comes from our differences; whether age - Kindergarten to grade 9, language - English, French and Spanish, or programming - Regular, Academic Enrichment Program, Immersion, Late Immersion and Bilingual McKernan has something for every student.  

What brings us together is a focus on our Core Values.  At McKernan:

  • We Seek
  • We Learn
  • We Lead 

While simple, the complexities of the learning process are represented in these stages of learning.  McKernan staff support students as they seek to explore their curiosities, find new pathways to learning and ultimately demonstrate the leadership abilities that will serve them as they head off to high school and beyond.  

 We look forward to supporting all current and future Mustangs!
