Colleen’s journey in education began in 1986, taking her through the communities of Prince Albert, Warman, and Saskatoon! Over the first 18 years, she had the joy of serving as both a classroom teacher and resource teacher, guiding students in grades 6 to 11 through everything from English and Social Studies to Science, Math, and Physical Education. 

From there, she spent 20 rewarding years as a High School Learning Assistance Teacher. It was a true privilege for her to help the students she worked with unlock their potential, overcome obstacles, and celebrate so many proud successes. 

Colleen and Rob have celebrated 37 wonderful years of marriage and raised three incredible boys. Now, she is bursting with excitement for this next chapter, a retirement filled with new travel adventures, pure relaxation, and soaking up every single precious moment with their four (and counting) grandchildren! 

After 34 years in education, Gen Wood retires with a deep sense of gratitude for a career that was both a privilege and a calling. From seven years in La Ronge, to three in Lanigan, to more than two decades of leadership with Saskatoon Public Schools, Gen was fortunate to learn and serve in northern, rural, and urban communities across Saskatchewan. She is especially grateful for the colleagues, students, and families who enriched her journey. Education gave Gen the privilege of serving communities, building relationships, and witnessing the potential of young people every day. In retirement, she looks forward to spending more time with her husband Mike, family and friends, travelling, and enjoying a few rounds of golf—appreciating the scenery far more than her scorecard.

Ian Hingley superannuates after 34 years as teacher and counsellor.  He embraces an ethic of care in responding to the needs of others and has valued the relationships and sense of community nurtured throughout the years.  He looks forward to family time and outdoor activities, especially gardening and camping.   

I grew up in Prince Albert, SK. with 3 sisters and 2 brothers. I began teaching in Spiritwood, Sk. in 1981. I then spent four years tin Crane Valley, Sk. teaching grades 5-12 and coached a variety of sports. I then returned in Saskatoon and began a 22 year career teaching at St. Joseph's High School, teaching mathematics. I coached soccer for 22 years at St.Joseph as well as Track and Field. We were blessed to win 6 City Championships and 5 Provincial titles in Girls' Soccer. I am finishing my teaching career at Holy Cross High School where my children attended years ago. I have been married for 42 years, and are blessed to have 3 wonderful children: Kayle, an Environmental Engineer; Adam, a Chemical Engineer; and Kelsey, a Social Work graduate, working in Prince Albert. I have loved teaching high school  mathematics all these years and coaching young women in soccer. I have approached each day with a smile and always trying to be a little better everyday. The greatest gift I have is my family. The biggest highlight. of my career that I continue to experience is when former students return to my current school to update me on all their successes. This is the reason why we teach. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a teacher, and time really has flown by. I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to mentor young people as they begin their journey. 

Leslie began her teaching career in Regina at Martin Collegiate. After a brief time teaching in Calgary, she returned to Saskatoon, where she taught Home Economics at Mount Royal, Marion M. Graham Collegiate and Centennial Collegiates. Throughout her career, Leslie has valued the friendships, connections, and community created along the way.

As she begins retirement, Leslie is looking forward to living life without a bell schedule dictating her days. She plans to spend more time at the cabin and hopes to enjoy travelling during the quieter, non-peak seasons of the year. 

Sheri taught in French Immersion at Cardinal Léger School, St.Matthew, Sr. O’Brien and Mother Teresa, 14 years in the classroom and 21 years as an LAT. She taught at U of S as a sessional lecturer and was compared to Ms. Frizzle due to her love of biology dissections and her many exotic classroom pets. Sheri coached track forever and truly loved all students, especially the most challenging. Her Catholic faith animates all her actions and she feels blessed in her role as wife, mother and teacher. She enjoys jogging, sewing, renovating, etc. and will spend retirement with her husband, Mike, their 9 children and many grandchildren. 

Tracy Hazen’s career in education began at Holy Cross High School Saskatoon in 1994, where she completed her internship. From there, she went on to build a long and meaningful career teaching and counselling within the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools system, dedicating decades to supporting students both in and out of the classroom.

Over the years, Tracy has deeply valued the relationships formed with colleagues and students alike. Whether in the classroom, in a counselling role, or supporting students through athletics and extracurricular life, it has always been the authentic human connections that stood out as the most meaningful part of her work. Being involved in school athletics has been a consistent and fulfilling part of her career, and the opportunities to coach, mentor, and support young people’s growth remain among her most treasured experiences.

As she steps into retirement, Tracy is not stepping away from sport entirely. She looks forward to continuing her involvement in high-performance club volleyball, provincial team programs, and ongoing work with Volleyball Canada. Staying connected to athletes, teams, and the energy of the gym will remain an important part of her life.

On a personal level, Tracy is a proud mother of two daughters, both of whom are nurses. With both daughters engaged and weddings planned for 2027, she is excited for this next chapter of family life, celebrating milestones, watching the family grow, and, God willing, welcoming grandbabies in the years ahead.

Retirement, for Tracy, is less about slowing down and more about continuing to invest in people, relationships, sport, and family while embracing the time and space to enjoy it all a little more fully.
