Principal's Message

Welcome to the home of the mustangs!

Did you know that there are 600 different breeds of horses in the world? Tall, short, brawny and elegant, each breed of horse has its own beauty and place in our world.

Much like our mustang mascot, Davidson Creek is home to over 600 children who each bring their unique talents, gifts, and quirks to this community. As the leaders of this community, it's our role to nurture each student and to see them for their individual strengths and gifts. We keep them safely in our herd so that they can grow into the incredible, successful people they are going to become.

I've read that in some Cree communities, horses represent freedom. As one of the leaders of the Davidson Creek Elementary family, I invite you to partner with the staff to equip our students with the knowledge, skill and mental fortitude needed so that they can experience their own freedom to prosper!

Together we can truly make our school a place where we belong!
