Alumni Return to Inspire Young Athletes

Three former Higgins School stars—now Calgary Surge athletes and a Dinos footballer—returned to inspire seventh through ninth graders, proving dreams are achievable right in their own community. Sparked by award-winning teacher Mr. Brar, who saw the power of alumni connection, the visit gave young students real-life role models. The athletes shared gritty, heartfelt stories from their junior high days, stressing friendship, hard work, and perseverance. For them, giving back was essential—filling a void they once felt. Mr. Brar called it humbling, and the whole school community hopes these visits become a tradition, proving that schools can ignite futures one story at a time.
