ulgrave is the school it is today because of the dedication of our founding families’ drive for
excellence, coupled with the vision and passion that our current families possess. Our success can be attributed to the combined efforts of the entire Mulgrave community, past and present, and perhaps nobody believes this more than the Shepards - Curt, Helaine, Taylor, and Kate. The Shepards came to Mulgrave in 2002, and found an instant family. While their two daughters, Taylor and Kate, got involved in a myriad of activities like field hockey, dance, science competitions, and theatre productions, Curt and Helaine dove head first into the community where they spent their time spearheading Galas, attending assemblies, and organising grad events, BBQs, fundraisers, and MVP events - just to name a few! Today, six years after Kate’s graduation from Mulgrave, the Shepards are still heavily involved in the community. While Helaine sits on the Board of Directors providing insight and leadership to guide the school toward future success, Kate remains as a Class Representative for the Class of 2012, Taylor sits on the Alumni Advisory Board working to connect alumni families with our Alumni Association, and Curt can still be found at nearly every big event and assembly the school hosts. The love the Shepards have for Mulgrave is truly touching, and we’re lucky to have a family like theirs ‘Sheparding’ us into the future while still keeping us so connected to the past.
