Four years later, Dale moved to Medicine Hat to teach at Crescent Heights High School. During his time at CHHS he was the Head of the Science Department and completed his master’s degree. He was passionate about teaching science, especially physics, and greatly valued his students’ success.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr Holt’s passing. He was a great teacher and always ensured a caring environment for all his students. He definitely was one of my favourite teachers. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
This is such a heartbreaking loss. Mr. Holt taught with so much passion. Who would have thought you could make physics fun by using slinkies in the hallway to learn about waves frequencies. He put his heart and enthusiasm into everything he did. I recall days after his first child was born, he was absolutely beaming and mentioned how he was in such awe of his wife. He truly embodied being a family man. I will be forever grateful to him for instilling in me a curiosity mindset and a love for science. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.
