Welcome, Tawow
W.F.A. Turgeon School located at 1180 Branion Drive was officially opened March 23, 1969. The main facility’s structure was based on a concept called “open area” where there were no walls between the classrooms which all spilled into the central hub of the school, the library. In the early 1980’s four portable classrooms were added to accommodate large enrollments and in 1988 walls were erected closing in the classrooms. The school was named for W.F.A. Turgeon, a Prince Albertan who served in the Canadian Foreign Service. He was an MLA for Prince Albert and was appointed Attorney General in the government of Walter Scott. After leaving politics he became chief justice of the Court of Appeal in 1938. Before retiring to Prince Albert he was appointed to many countries as a foreign diplomat. He died at the age of 82 in 1969, the year our school opened. In May of 1999 the designation of community school status precipitated a name change to W.F.A. Turgeon Catholic Community School.
