Legacies in Action

St. Clement’s School is profoundly grateful for the support provided by donors who have chosen to leave a legacy gift to the School.

Through their generousity, they create meaningful legacies for future Clementines. Here are some of their stories.

Hazel Perkin

21 years is a long time. For Hazel Perkin, the 21 years she served as Principal of St. Clement’s School were ones of enjoyment and satisfaction that just seemed to fly by.

Janet Mackinnon

Janet Mackinnon taught at St. Clement’s School for 35 rewarding years. To Janet, these years seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. “Seeing my students learn, evolve, and develop into impressive young adults was nothing but a delight and joy,” recalls Janet.

Ruth Bell

Ruth Marion Cooper Dolph Bell, C.M., B.A., M.A., LL.D., (Hon), D.S.L. (Hon), was a powerful and effective voice in changing social attitudes and behaviour towards women. A committed educator, author, political scientist, activist, and volunteer, she got her start at St. Clement’s School.

The Francis C. PowellHeritage Society

Biennially, the Francis C. Powell Heritage Society celebrates the legacy of the Powell family and honours all donors who have chosen to make a legacy gift to St. Clement’s School.

Francis Clement Powell was the son of St. Clement’s School founder Canon Thomas Wesley Powell, and a student in SCS’s first Kindergarten class in 1901. (In the early days, SCS taught both boys and girls.)

Francis was deeply proud of his father’s educational vision and remained close to the SCS community. This prompted him to leave a legacy gift to the School in his family’s honour. In 2003, Francis died and his dream of beginning an endowment for SCS became a reality.
