The Guelph Gryphons announced a big addition to their football program Wednesday.
In front of a gathering of teammates, classmates, coaches and his parents at Saint Michael in Niagara Falls, 6-foot-3, 257-pound Carson Gilbert signed on the dotted line to pursue his post secondary football career with Guelph.
“I am so excited,” the Grade 12 student said. “There is no way to measure how excited I am.”
Gilbert, who played defensive tackle, defensive end, fullback and offensive tackle for the Mustangs this past season, realized university ball was a possibility for him last year.
“A couple of coaches came up to me and then I went to Guelph to see them play,” he said. “What a place it is. I loved it.”
He loves most everything about the program and Guelph.
Students learning roles ranging from sets and lighting to costumes in addition to acting in new production at Niagara Falls high school

The enduring charm of an eccentrically macabre family that’s had more lives than a cat for generations will be brought to life at Saint Michael Catholic High School in January, when the three-day run of the Addams Family — The Musical hits the Mustangs stage.
The cast and crew of the production at the Niagara Falls high school have been rehearsing every day — sometimes twice a day — after starting preparations for the lively musical comedy back in September, said student Emily Felstead, who, along with fellow student Alicia Reichenbach, plays an ancestor of the Addams family while also serving as co-stage managers.
Unlike many high school productions when students hold rehearsals after school and focus mostly on acting, the Saint Michael students have been working on the production during drama class and are taking on a vast number of roles necessary for a theatre show to become reality, said school drama teacher Roxanne Rees.

Hannah Cukierski knew the path to becoming a veterinarian would be a long one with many years of study, but what threw her for a loop when she investigated it as a career choice were some of the requirements.
“I’d need a lot of math and science, and that’s not my strong area,” the Grade 10 student at Saint Michael Catholic High School in Niagara Falls said.
Hannah and other Saint Michael students studying French were taking part in a job fair exercise at the school on Nov. 22 where they created displays, cobbled together resumes (as best they could in their still-young lives) and wrote cover letters on specific careers they believe they’d be interested in pursuing.
The careers they explored ranged from doctors and paramedics to police officers, hair stylists, florists, meteorologists, musicians and radiograph technologists among others.
Along with creating their letters, resumes and displays in French, the students had to undergo job interviews in a language that isn’t their first language with school French teacher Antoinette Lambert.
Lambert said the exercise was designed in part to have the students undergo an authentic learning experience and take the French skills they’ve been honing on a test drive that’s close to real life.
