About Us
Nestled near Fish Creek Park, our school is an inclusive, respectful, safe and caring community grounded in the Three Pillars of Care (Care for self, Care for others, Care for this place). Through land-based learning, strong literacy and numeracy instruction, and partnerships with Indigenous Knowledge Keepers, we foster connection, belonging and resilience.
Haultain Memorial School History
Haultain Memorial School opened in 1981 as a continuing tribute to Sir Frederick William Haultain. Frederick Haultain served as Calgary's representative in the first legislative assembly of the North West Territories, elected in 1888. He served as premier of the N.W. T. from 1897-1905. He played the leading role in the struggle for responsible government and raised the Territories from colonial to provincial status within the Dominion.
The original Haultain School was built in 1892 and was located at 2nd Street and 14th Avenue S.W. It was first known as South Ward School, but was renamed Haultain School in 1910 in honour of Sir Frederick Haultain. After serving as an educational facility for 70 years, the building was condemned and considered irreparable for occupancy. The doors of the old school were permanently closed on June 29, 1962.

School Development Plan
Each year, our school prepares a development plan with input from teachers, school staff, students and parents. We review many sources of data, including report cards, provincial achievement test results and school surveys. Based on this information, we create our plan identifying targeted areas for growth. Our school development plan is not meant to represent all of the work that takes place in our school, but rather it focuses on specific areas for improvement.

School Improvement Results Report
Our school also prepares a results plan, which looks at our previous school year. It shows our students’ achievement and progress in meeting the goals and outcomes as set out by the CBE and Alberta Education, outlines some of the highlights of our school development plan and gives an overview of our school.
