CLASS OF 2004[top]

MOUSSEAU, ALLISON I live in St. Catharines where I work as an H&R Block tax associate. After having to drop out of Niagara College because of financial problems I started working, trying to find the right place for me, but in 2007 I had to take some time off to deal with some medical issues, which are now under control. In 2008, I started working for H & R Block, and had a fantastic time, so I went back this year. I enjoy it a lot. I am currently planning my wedding to a fantastic man who cares for deeply (we plan on having a Halloween wedding this year or next). My family is doing great. My sister and brother (both of whom went to EHS) are living in Brantford, where my parents live as well. This year I am training for the Ride to Conquer Cancer, a 3 day bike ride from Toronto to Niagara Falls. To everyone who remembers me, I no longer have spikey hair, it's all the way down to the middle of my back and is black with red highlights.

What do I remember about EHS? Being on the Students Council...it gave me a lot of confidence and leadership skills.....working with the office staff and all my teachers, whom I learned a lot from....mostly all the events we organized throughout the whole 4 years. They were fun.

Email Allison.

BURNS, PETER
After graduating high school, I went to the University of Western Ontario and did a Honors BSc. in Physiology and Psychology; worked for E.B.

What do I remember most about high school? Science Labs at noon with Mr. Knaples, R. Jeanveau (went to the Nationals that year 1987); rocketry and lasers in the courtyard. Pursuing music later in high school with Mr. Wilson and having the support of some great mentors and classmates that kicked butt for several years in competitions (probably still do). Euchre on spares, waking up PJ in the mornings to get his rear to class, the philosophical debates with PJ and Hal during spares and the ones with the Grade 13 class and Mr. Stos (a great teacher and mentor); keeping the "sisters" out of trouble (you know who you are!). Driving Mr. Stos, Mr. Cox and Mr. Duraneleau nuts during my last year with Elias.

CLASS OF 1988[top]

BROWN, CORRIE (now ST. PIERRE)
I went to Queen's University and became a teacher. I spent my first years in Chapleau, at a small Catholic school. I married a great guy named Jean who is from Val Caron. We have an 11 year old son named Christian. After we left Chapleau, we stayed in Sudbury for a while. Now, we have a house in the Valley. I teach Core French to grade 1-6 students. I use drama, music and art to engage them in the subject.

I have many fond memories of EHS and the people who were there. I remember walking through downtown Espanola in a toga when I was in Gr. 13. I loved hanging out in the art room, but I was too scared to try out for the musicals. Mr. Morin's funny algebra classes, the Science Club trip to New York, the kayaking with the Outers Club, playing cards in the caf... But my biggest influence was definitely Mr. Stos. I loved his classes...the way he challenged us and treated us as equals (well, almost!). When I began to teach, I wanted to be half as good as Mr. Stos. I still do!

CLASS OF 1977[top]

HORE, BARB (now de Bastiani)

I live in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. I got a BA, BEd, Specialist in Deaf Education, lived in Ottawa for eight years, but most important, married an amazing man (from Elliot Lake) who loves me still, have two children, now young adults who have taught me a lot and have helped keep me young! We've lived in Yellowknife on Great Slave Lake since 1990. Who would have thought Ken Pakala's Geography lesson would have such an impact? Living in the NWT means freezing cold winters, lo-o-ong, warm summer days where we can go play all night, including golfing on sand fairways, boat for a hundred miles and possibly meet one or two boats, free camp just about anywhere and make such close friends they become like family. Oh, and we don't mine gold anymore, Ken...we're seriously into diamonds!

Favourite EHS memory: The friends, the teachers, clubs, dances, trying to avoid Mr. Desrocher when I was sneaking out of school during a spare!
