From left to right, Grandview Heights Secondary vice-principal Sue Boucher, Principal Darren Bedard and Vice-Principal Marina Enns. Today (Wednesday, May 1) is Principals & Vice-Principals Appreciation Day, a day to celebrate our school leaders for the work they do year-round for students, staff and parents throughout the district.

Today, and every day, we hope our students and staff take time to acknowledge the importance of our administrators, who guide our schools year after year and ensure they remain safe and healthy learning environments for our students and staff.

“Principals and vice-principals are the steadfast leaders of all of our schools,” said 麻豆原创Board of Education Chair Laurie Larsen. “We rely on their management expertise, life experience and compassion to guide decisions that impact and assist our students and families throughout the school year.”

“The commitment to education, inclusive learning experiences and welcoming environments for students is shared by all of our principals and vice-principals,” said Supt. Mark Pearmain. “We wish for them to feel honoured, recognized and respected for the valuable insight and dedication they bring to school each and every day.”

With 103 elementary schools, 21 secondary schools and five learning centres, the district has hundreds of principals and vice-principals who oversee day-to-day operations at our schools. From students entering their first day of kindergarten to Grade 12s looking ahead to post-secondary life, our school leaders are a driving force in the lives of our more than 83,000 students throughout Surrey, White Rock and Barnston Island.

We encourage all of our students, staff and families to show their principals and vice-principals gratitude every day – whether it’s a wave or smile in the hallway, making a card or just saying thank you! We know they will appreciate it!

For all the work that you do, principals and vice-principals, thank you for your ongoing efforts at all of our schools!
