BC History teacher 1969 - 2002
Jimmy Verner started his teaching career as a boarding assistant in Mountstephens House and remained with the College for 34 years after which he joined the staff of Bishop Bavin College. During his tenure at St Stithians he attained the position of House Director (Mountstephens House) and later Director of Grade 12. Jimmy was a highly capable Mr Fixit and could always be relied on to find a quick solution if anything technical went awry. His historical knowledge was immense and much of the account of the recent St Stithians history that appeared on our early websites was compiled by him. Jimmy was also involved with Swimming, Life-Saving and Drivers' Education and made a huge contribution backstage for our musical and drama stage productions.
