Steven Prediger and seven other teachers were recently nominated for the Edwin Parr Award for exceptional first-year teaching in Zone 4 of the Alberta School Boards Association, which is comprised of eight central Alberta boards.

“The exceptional calibre of teachers honoured at this event is so exciting,” said Laurette Woodward, Zone 4 chair and Red Deer Public Schools vice-chair.
