September is the month we reflect on the Catholic Social Teaching principle of Human Dignity.
At Lakeland Catholic School Division, we believe every person is created in the image and likeness of God. This belief shapes how we welcome one another, build relationships, and create learning environments where every student is known, valued, and respected.
This month's Catholic Social Teaching reminds us:
Each person is sacred, made in God's image to know, love and serve Him & deserve to be respected.
As we begin a new school year, may we remember that every interaction is an opportunity to honour the dignity of others and reflect Christ's love in our words and actions.

Career & Technology Foundations (CTF) at AJSH
A quick overview for families about Career & Technology Foundations (CTF) — what many of us have traditionally called “options.”
CTF is all about exploration! Junior high is a time for students to experience a variety of skills, interests, and possible career pathways before narrowing their choices in high school.
Students in Grades 7–9 at AJSH will take a variety of CTF courses throughout the year, allowing everyone to try different learning experiences.
New this year: Students will also take Career Education and Financial Literacy (CEFL), a new required Alberta course focused on career planning, financial literacy, and preparing students for their futures.
Because our CTF program is designed around exploration, students do not select individual CTF courses. Instead, they rotate through the courses scheduled for their grade.
All Grade 7 students take Band as part of their program; in Grades 8 and 9, students may choose to continue in Band.
Our goal is to give every Crusader the chance to try something new, discover their strengths, and explore interests they may not have considered before!
