John Van Heck was acclaimed to the position of Chair of the St. Clair Catholic District School Board for a third straight term recently.
Trustee Michelle Parks was acclaimed Vice Chair, a position she has previously held for the past three years.
Van Heck has been a Catholic trustee since 2006. In accepting the position of Chair, he thanked his fellow trustees for their support and paid tribute to retiring Director of Education Dan Parr.
“Our multi-year strategic plan, which focuses on living our faith and student achievement; and our new Chatham schools will be your legacy,” he said in a media release. “But I know that you are not about legacy; rather, you are about building God’s Kingdom through our schools. Thank you for all that you have taught us.”
Parks is now in her 12th year as a Catholic trustee.
Elections for the positions of Chair and Vice Chair are held annually at the Board’s December meeting.
