It's been quite a ride. That's from Portage la Prairie School Division Superintendent Hazen Barrett as he shares his thoughts on this past school year.

Hazen Barrett "I've never seen a year in my career in 32 years that's gone this quickly, especially the last six months. I can't believe the things that I've seen happen; the new things going on in the division, the new programs, the new technologies, and the new pieces of infrastructure."

He expresses his appreciation for the Board members.

"We've had a very progressive board for a number of years, and that has certainly helped us build upon one success after another."

Barrett adds, "I'm out of breath because I can't believe the things that happened this year. I'm done in the fall. That'll be the end of my career. And this is a good way to go out."
