Shawn touched many lives throughout his all too short time with us, whether it was in his job as a teacher, First Nation liaison at East Hants Rural High School or at the Shubenacadie District elementary school. He consistently went out of his way to inspire and support so many students throughout his career.
As part of his determination and perseverance Shawn achieved several outstanding academic awards, including the 2018 Silver medal for Academic Achievements and Bachelor of Arts from Cape Breton University. He recently graduated from St. FX University where he achieved his B. Ed in Education. These academic accomplishments allowed him to achieve his dream job of returning to East Hants Rural High School as a teacher.

His hobbies included: hunting, fishing, flying drones, building models, bowling, billiards, being a loyal member of the Sipekne’katik Wolfpack bike club and a member of the Atlantic Society of Radio Control Modellers.
