CMSD82 News Release – Interim Principal Appointment at Hazelton Secondary School, Louise Ormerod (PDF format)
I am writing to share with you the following interim change in the administrative structure at Hazelton Secondary School.
Christine Duncan, Principal at Hazelton Secondary School is on a personal leave for an undetermined length of time. Effective February 6, 2023 to June 30, 2023, Louise Ormerod has been appointed Interim Principal at Hazelton Secondary School. We are grateful that Louise is able to provide assistance for this interim assignment.
Louise previously worked for Coast Mountains School District 82 in school administration, most recently serving as Principal of Parkside Secondary School in Terrace from 2005 to 2016.
Louise holds a Bachelor of Education, a Master of Education in Leadership, and a Master of Education in Clinical Counselling. Throughout much of her 37-year-career as an educator, Louise has focused on engaging with learners of diverse needs. During the past five years, she has been working with First Nations Education and is grounded in the premise that education is driven from strong cultural connections. Louise’s strengths lie in her forward thinking in education and innovation, her commitment to building community and in developing a holistic and positive environment to support and engage all learners.
The school district will be working closely with Louise during her transition into this interim assignment at Hazelton Secondary School. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we transition through this school administration change.
I am very happy to have Louise join the administrative team at Hazelton Secondary School. Please join me in welcoming Louise to this interim principalship assignment.
