The 100th Anniversary celebration weekend was an incredible success for the alumni and for the current students and staff of PACI. We all gained an incredible appreciation of the pride and commitment shown by those that walked the Collegiate halls in the past.

The emergence of the PACI Alumni Association in the fall of 2010 is amazing. To know that hundreds of alumni are willing and eager to reconnect with and support the Collegiate is very motivating. As we compete for students and build a strong academic and innovative program for high school students, the support of the alumni will most suredly be appreciated.

 It has been with pride that I have nurtured the Collegiate through its transition back to taking its rightful place as a diploma granting, university sending, youth maturing choice for students in Prince Albert.

PACI is built upon traditions. Our current students are well versed in "Keep'er Low". The song... well unfortunately that is another story. Since we have become the Collegiate again a new tradition has been introduced.

PACI stands for Prince Albert Collegiate Institute. But it stands for much more than that. PACI is Pride Achievement Courage and Integrity. These are our values - what we strive to succeed in instilling in each and every student as we prepare them for life after their high school years.

It is an honour to be a part of the grand traditions of PACI.
