This year marks a very special milestone for Dr. D. W. Penner School as we celebrate 50 years of learning, community, and memories. Since opening our doors in 1976, generations of students, families, and staff have helped shape the rich history and strong sense of belonging that defines our school today.

As we honour our past, celebrate our present, and look toward our future, we invite our school community, alumni, former staff, and friends of Penner to join us for a special open house. 

Open House & Alumni Gathering

Monday, September 28, 2026
5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Take a walk down memory lane as you explore the school through a self-guided tour featuring photos, artifacts, and memorabilia from the past five decades. Reconnect with former classmates, staff, and friends while celebrating the many memories that make Penner such a special place and present access points for our students to reflect about dynamics of legacy.
