Red Deer teacher one of 7 in Canada to receive National Award for Teaching Excellence in Physical Education

Published on

Scott Luck has been named as one of just seven recipients across Canada for the National Award for Teaching Excellence in Physical and Health Education presented by Physical and Health Education Canada

Whether it’s leading high-energy gym classes or helping students discover their passion for physical activity, PhysEd Specialist at École Central Middle Scott Luck has always focused on getting kids moving – and now, he’s being recognized for his efforts on a national level.

Scott has been named as one of just seven recipients across Canada for the National Award for Teaching Excellence in Physical and Health Education presented by Physical and Health Education Canada. The award honours exceptional teaching and leadership in promoting wellness and physical literacy in schools.

“I didn’t know that I was being nominated – I was extremely surprised when I was told I was a recipient,” said Scott. “I just go about doing my day-to-day and for others to consider me in that type of category is a big honour.”

While he had not met the other recipients before the awards ceremony, Scott said he was humbled to be in their company.

“To be grouped together with the other recipients is such an honour. They are all amazing individuals who do amazing things,” he said.

Scott’s journey to education wasn’t typical. Initially being accepted into a combined PhysEd and Education degree right out of high school, he was steered away from the field. Years later in his 20s, he returned to his calling and earned his After Degree in Education from the University of Alberta. He landed his first teaching job at the age of 28.

He began his career in Edmonton and quickly came to Red Deer teaching at Hunting Hills High School before joining École Central Middle, where he’s spent the past eight years helping students discover the joy of movement.

“I love being active. I love seeing kids be active, and figure out what they are good at. It’s extremely rewarding,” said Scott.

He believes physical and mental wellness are key to student success. “In order for a student to excel academically, they have to be well. Wellness for me is all about the balance between being physically active, mentally well, and the pursuit of happiness,” he said.

Amanda Wilson, Principal at École Central Middle, said Scott is an exceptional Phys Ed teacher who creates inclusive, high-quality programs that cater to widely diverse student needs.

“He adapts lessons using translation tools, tactile clues, auditory signals, and specialized equipment, ensuring all students, regardless of ability or challenges, can participate and experience success,” she said. “Scott goes above and beyond regularly for his students and for our school in the classroom as well as with extracurricular activities. He is instilling a lifelong love of physical activity, and transforming his students’ lives with his dedication and creativity and we are incredibly fortunate to have him at CMS.”
