History
Michael A. Kostek School, which opened in September 1994, is named after Michael Alexander Kostek (1926-2015). In 1953, Kostek started with Edmonton Public Schools as a junior high school teacher. When he retired 30 years later, Kostek was Executive Assistant to the Superintendent. In addition to his years of service with Edmonton Public Schools, he had teaching experiences in Quebec, Malawi, and the Netherlands. After retirement, Kostek put his experience to good use as the school Archivist-Historian at McKay Avenue School. Kostek’s contributions to public education were recognized in 1984 when he received an Alberta Achievement Award for Excellence in Education. In recognition of his many contributions as a volunteer with many historic associations, Kostek was inducted into the city’s “Historic Hall” in 1982 and in 1989 he received the City of Edmonton Certificate of Appreciation and Recognition as an Outstanding Citizen in Alberta. In 2002, he was awarded the Award of Merit from the Edmonton Historical Society and in 2003, was the recipient of the Queen’s Jubilee Medal.
