Dr. Gordon Higgins Student Award
Established in 1978 at his namesake school, Dr. Gordon Keith Higgins remains a passionate advocate for public education. A seventh generation Canadian, he was born at St. Andrews by the Sea, New Brunswick, on March 23, 1922. Dr. Higgins served as an elected trustee on the Calgary Board of Education from 1963-1970 and promoted the library program in the school system. He was a member of the senate of the University of Calgary from 1972-1975. He returned to St. Andrews in 1978. His desire is that all students learn and value the importance of investing in their own futures, financially and through life-long learning.
