Additional Administrative Appointments for 2021-2022
Parkland School Division’s Superintendent of Schools, Shauna Boyce, is pleased to announce some additional administrative appointments for the 2021-2022 school year. PSD’s Leadership Team will welcome three new members including two internal candidates who will make their first foray into administrative roles.
The moves are a result of the retirement of Shauna Wray as a long-time Assistant Principal in PSD coupled with the movement of Cherie Lovsund and Tanya Neuman into Principal roles for Duffield School and Stony Plain Central respectively.
“We are excited to welcome these new members into Parkland School Division’s Leadership Team,” stated Superintendent Boyce.
“All three of these new administrators have a wide range of teaching experiences and proven track records of exceptional communication skills that will translate into meaningful relationship building in their respective school communities.”
