Welcome to Harry Collinge High School, the dual track (English and French Immersion) secondary school of choice in Hinton. We have a long tradition of community involvement, academic challenge, athletic opportunities and an appreciation of the arts. As a Harry Collinge High School student you are free to explore a wide variety of educational and extracurricular opportunities not found anywhere else in our region. As with any community, we are stronger and better for your participation in it and look forward to your positive participation in all aspects of life at Harry Collinge High School.
The core values of Harry Collinge High School are respect, responsibility and compassion. One finds these referenced in Latin in the open book on our school logo. We have found that all we do can be distilled to at least one of these values. We expect all members of the HCHS community to model and embrace these values.
My name is Kurt Scobie, and I am the new principal of Harry Collinge High School. I have worked for 30 years in Grande Yellowhead at a number of schools. I started teaching in Roche Miette School, now St. Gregory, in 1994. I then taught grade 6 in Evansburg for year. I moved back to Hinton and taught grade 7 for the next 10 years at Crescent Valley, where I was also the Assistant Principal for 5 years. In 2006, I began to work in central office, managing the technology department and organizing professional development for staff. After 10 years, I went back to Crescent Valley as principal in 2016. I was moved to Mountain View in 2018, where I have been principal for the last 6 years.
