About

HAK is a rural school that includes a daycare, Great Beginnings program, kindergarten and Grades 1 to 12. The school is located in the town of Smoky Lake, which is a vibrant community of 1000 people. Our community is extremely active and is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes northeast of Edmonton. At HAK, we offer a variety of courses; including archery, shop, leadership, fine arts, outdoor education, foods and STEAM. We also offer multi-grade courses and pride ourselves on multi-grade activities throughout the school. Older students and younger students learn the importance of working together. Our parent fundraising group is called: "CASA," which stands for: "Community And School Association." Parents and community members raise funds for our students so they may participate in extra-curricular activities and field trips such as ski trips or camps. This is an example of our strong tie to the community. We want our school to be part of the community, and the community to be part of our school.

Kindergarten, Great Beginnings

Welcome to H.A. Kostash School! I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Alberta. I am so excited to be a part of your child’s journey as they enter school for the first time! I have been teaching since 2016 and teaching Kindergarten at H.A.K since 2018. In my spare time I enjoy camping, reading and spending time with my family and friends.
