Morgan Murray attended Lakeland Catholic Schools in Bonnyville from Kindergarten to Grade 12! Morgan is now teaching at Assumption Jr/Sr High School!
"I came back to teach with the division because it has always felt like home. Coming back to teach, I am teaching with colleagues who were my teachers at one point, and teaching students whose parents I know… growing up in a Catholic school gave me the ability to experience God and experience the values of being a Christian. I believe in the values that Catholic Education offers its students, due to the way it has influenced me growing up."

I've been able to work alongside some of my former teachers and now have the pleasure of working with some of my former students. It really is amazing to see all of the former Lakeland Catholic alumni that have been called to teaching in our communities."
