Message from Principal, Mike Gallant
As the school year draws to a close, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to every member of the Abbey Park learning community for your energy, dedication, and partnership throughout the past year. Our school was filled with remarkable achievements, growth, and many memorable moments for our students and staff. None of it would have been possible without the communal effort of all.
We wish you a summer of rest, relaxation, and the opportunity to make great memories with friends and family. Whether your plans are to travel and take in some sights or stay local and enjoy that which our community offers, we hope that you find the time to experience the joy of summer vacation. Be well, and best wishes.

Google Workspace Data Info - students who are not returning
As of July 12, 2025 students who are not returning for the 2025-2026 school year, including those graduating from the HDSB, will lose access to the HDSB Network & Google Workspace for Education applications, data, and email. Note that this includes both Gmail and Drive.
IMPORTANT: If you have used your HDSB email when applying for post secondary, resume development, job applications, etc. you will need to update your information and change it to a personal email address before access to your HDSB account is lost.
To retain your Google Workspace data please see one of the options below:
- Transfer email and Drive files to a personal Google Account using Transfer Your Content
- Personal Gmail accounts only have 15 GB free drive space - All files in your My Drive will count toward your quota
- Archive data using Google Takeout
- The traditional Takeout is also available to create an archive of all their data in Google Workspace. This will enable you to easily retain your email, essays, resumes, science projects, and any other files stored on Google Drive before access has been removed to your HDSB account.
This must be completed before July 12, 2025.
Final Mark/Mark Changes for Ontario Universities & Colleges
During the summer months students may have issues with OUAC/OCAS which are time dependent and critical in ensuring students are able to access their chosen postsecondary pathways. Our offices will be open in July & August (reduced hours) and our front staff will do their best to support.
If support is not available at the school, the Gary Allan High School Summer Principal Supervisor and Guidance Team will assume responsibility for resolving these emergent student issues. Students may use the following email address summerschool@hdsb.ca and dedicated staff at GAHS will liaison with the schools and community to provide support and navigation with OUAC/ OCAS. This team is resourced to provide support to the system during the summer months and has the knowledge and proficiency to make any necessary changes in OUAC/OCAS to support HDSB secondary students.
