On October 5th, the Abbotsford School District joins the global community in celebrating World Teachers’ Day, a special occasion to honour the dedication and passion of educators who play an essential role in shaping the future. Teachers are the driving force behind student success, and in Abbotsford, they are at the heart of creating a vibrant and supportive learning environment for over 20,000 students.

Here in #AbbySchools we are proud to recognize the incredible contributions of our teachers. Whether in classrooms, on the playground, or during extracurricular activities, their unwavering commitment to students’ academic and personal growth shines brightly.

Our teachers continue to play a critical role in preparing students for bright and successful futures, grounded in the district’s core values of respect, trust, integrity, communication, and teamwork.

“It’s a privilege to acknowledge and celebrate our outstanding educators not just on World Teachers’ Day, but throughout the entire year,” said Sean Nosek, Superintendent of the Abbotsford School District. “Each day, these dedicated individuals are shaping the futures and unlocking the potential of over 20,000 students in Abbotsford.
