Best decision my parents made for my sister and I, class of 89' and 94'. I have continued to be part of the fabric of the Mount community through coaching/teaching/ and now a parent to my 2 Mounties. Once a Mountie always a Mountie!

My three children graduated from Mount in '76 '79 and '83 and I never regretted the sacrifices we made to send them to this special school. I gladly continue to financially support them today. No doubt being a Mountie is special. Continue the good work!
