Celeste Schrock has accepted the position of Principal of St. Anthony’s School.
Schrock has been a vice principal at the school and is excited to take on the new role
“St. Anthony’s School has a long history of high-quality, Catholic Education in the Drumheller Valley. It is an honour to be given the responsibility of continuing that tradition as the next Principal,” she says.
After graduating from the Nova Scotia Teachers College in 1997 with a Bachelor of Education, Mrs. Schrock moved west to begin her teaching career at St. Anthony’s School as a junior high PE and Math teacher. In 2001 she completed her Masters of Education in Curriculum & Instruction from Mount St. Vincent University.
In 2005, when a second Vice-Principal position was added to the school, Mrs. Schrock was given the opportunity to join the school administrative team. She has served in that role ever since. Over the years Mrs. Schrock has taught a range of grades from elementary to high school and a variety of subjects.
Superintendent Dr. Scott Morrison said, “Mrs. Schrock is a long-serving and talented member of the St. Anthony’s School community. She is a master teacher with superb interpersonal skills, and she’s committed to maintaining St. Anthony’s level of excellence.”
Mrs. Schrock will begin her transition to St. Anthony’s School in the spring.
Principal JoAnne Akerboom will be retiring at the end of the school year.
