97: Terry Abbott Legacy Bursary

Amount:  TBA

The Terry Abbott Legacy Bursary was created by the graduating class of 2025 to honour a teacher who made a lasting impact on our lives. Awarded to a student who has completed Calculus 12 and is pursuing studies in science, engineering, or mathematics, this bursary is more than just financial support—it is a tribute to a teacher whose dedication, patience, and belief in his students changed the course of so many futures.

Mr. Abbott has been more than just a math teacher. He has been a mentor, a guide, and a constant source of encouragement for every graduating class that came before us. Many of us can say with confidence that we would not be where we are today without his unwavering support and belief in our potential.

As a way to say thank you and ensure that his legacy lives on, we wanted to create something lasting—something that would continue to reflect the care he gave to each of us. So, as a class, we came together and contributed what we could to establish this bursary. It is our hope that it will continue to support and inspire students for years to come, just as Mr. Abbott has done throughout his remarkable teaching career.

Even in retirement, his impact will continue because every student deserves to have someone like Mr. Abbott in their corner.
