Mr. Sketchly has dedicated 33 incredible years of his life to Rosedale Heights School of the Arts, nurturing a vibrant and passionate arts community in Toronto. Over these decades, he has not only shaped an academically strong institution but has also cultivated a compassionate and inclusive environment where every student feels empowered and valued. His dedication to the arts and his unwavering support for his students have left an indelible mark on our community.

Rosedale Heights is not just a school, it's a community where art and education mix to create transformative experiences for students, thanks largely to Mr. Sketchly’s visionary leadership. With his kind soul and remarkable commitment, he has consistently put the well-being of students first, fostering creativity, compassion, and confidence in every student who walks through the doors of the school.

The decision by the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) to remove Mr. Sketchly from his position overlooks the profound impact he has had on many lives. It fails to appreciate the unique and vital role he plays in maintaining the reputation and spirit of Rosedale Heights. Removing him after his years of service and dedication would not only disrupt the ongoing traditions but also potentially weaken an institution built on decades of trust and mutual respect.

We urge the TDSB to reconsider their decision and reinstate Mr. Sketchly, recognizing his invaluable contributions. His absence would leave a void that no other can fill, and the community is deeply concerned about the future of our beloved school without his guidance.

Please join us in rallying support for Mr. Sketchly’s return to Rosedale Heights School of the Arts. Sign this petition to show the TDSB how much he means to our community and to ensure that the spirit he has fostered continues to thrive for many more years to come.
