The history..... In the beginning, it was the mothers who organized themselves to support students. A meeting was held on Saturday, September 2, 1922 to discuss the possibility of forming a Provincial organization to promote the welfare of student in education. Mrs. Alice M. Curtis was the chairperson for this meeting. ASCA was originally the Alberta Federation of Home and School Associations and was officially organized on March 31, 1929. One of the main objectives of ASCA, from its origin through to today, is that parents are seen as partners in education and they are vital to student success. The first President of the Alberta Federation of Home and School Associations was Reverend Dr. G.W. Kerby from Calgary. He also served as President of the National Federation of Home and School and Parent- Teacher Association. LEARN MORE... https://www.albertaschoolcouncils.ca/about/history |
