ASSINIBOIA - Assiniboia Composite High School has taken sources of community pride to another level. The ACHS Wall of Fame was started in 2010. Inductees are currently included and range in accolades from the arts to academics and other avenues of success stories
Principal Brent Chadwick said, “Nominations are accepted and the school alumnus chosen will be inducted at graduation ceremonies.”
The Wall of Fame highlights recognition of former students and teachers, ACHS past and continues the rich history of the high school since it opened in 1962.
The 2024 inductee was Lisa Reid. Chadwick said of this year’s inductee, “She had a national class career as a volleyball player in her playing days with both Team Sask and U of Saskatchewan Huskies.”
“She continued her career playing on Club Teams in Saskatchewan and participated at National Level competitions along the way. Her love of teaching kept her in Assiniboia and she took her passion for Volleyball into the school system and coached young athletes to enjoy the sport as much a she did. She was instrumental in the Prospect Camp weekend for college recruitment here in Assiniboia with giving opportunities to young athletes to further their education and follow their enjoyment of volleyball.”
“Tragically, Lisa passed away but her legacy lives in the enjoyment and opportunities for young athletes to follow their passions of education and sport,” added Principal Chadwick.
