Palliser Schools celebrate the past and the future
VULCAN – A new school year brings with it many changes, and Palliser Regional Schools is certainly no exception. Staff at Wednesday’s (Aug 30) Opening Day Celebration, however, were reminded to keep doing what they do best.
“A brand new year is upon us now,” said Sherryl Loman, a career and academic counsellor bringing greetings on behalf of support staff, who account for nearly half of all Palliser employees. “Go. Be. Awesome!”
Board Chair Robert Strauss echoed those sentiments, praising staff for their past accomplishments. He also welcomed all new staff to the division, and informed them a new superintendent should be in place by Oct. 1, pending ministerial approval.
While Palliser can’t disclose the name of that individual until Alberta Education gives the nod, it was announced Wednesday that Brian Andjelic will assume the position of Acting Superintendent Sept. 1. Andjelic recently retired as superintendent of Prairie Rose School Division following a 38-year teaching career.
