Lifelong Learning on Display at PCHS
Stephen and John Miklosik never forgot their parents’
guidance.
“They always stressed how important it was to stay in school
and get a good education,” said Stephen.
The brothers followed that advice and went on to successful
careers in medicine and media. Now, in their 80s, the pair are supporting the
education of the next generation of students at their alma mater, Port Colborne
High School.
The Miklosik’s made what they called a “modest” donation of
$28,000 to PCHS to support adding new learning technology to the school. Guidance
Head Barclay Walker said the school put the money to good use, adding five new
Smart Boards, projectors and iPad Minis.
Principal Nigel Evans said the school “greatly appreciates
the Miklosik’s generosity. Having this kind of support shows what a tremendous
community that PCHS has built over the years. Being able to improve our
technology will also help support the next generation of student excellence at Port Colborne High School.”
