Why this petition matters

Started by Jess G

We are asking the Halifax Regional School Board and the Nova Scotia Department of Education to consider changing the name of the Dartmouth high school Prince Andrew High School to Constable Heidi Stevenson High.  

Cst. Stevenson paid the ultimate price protecting our community from a murderer who could have easily taken more lived and destroyed more families. She lost her life serving the community she loved. We should honour her and her memory by having her name forever in our community. Cst. Stevenson was a former school liaison officer and has shown throughout the years her dedication to our youth.

With the school board already reconsidering the name of Prince Andrew High School, this would be the opportune time to name one of our community schools after a real hero. 

You can read about her amazing contributions to the community throughout her entire career.

Why should our school keep the name of a disgraced royal instead of a local hero.
