Summer student This summer TTHS hired Morgan as a summer student to help initiate the grade 3 one-day program by writing a lesson plan to compliment the Ontario Ministry of Education Grade 3 Social Science curriculum. The program is designed to introduce students to the life of pioneers as well as the history of Halton County. The program is due to start welcoming students in January 2014. In addition, Morgan has worked on other projects for TTHS such as scanning land registries, cataloguing books at the schoolhouse and helping to prepare for the Historical Fair in September.
