Lisa Demers, Principal of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School in Chatham, has been appointed to serve as St. Clair Catholic’s next Superintendent of Education.
The appointment fills the vacancy that will be left as Deb Crawford assumes the role of Director of Education, following Dan Parr’s retirement at the end of December.
“Lisa of course needs no introduction to our staff and I am very pleased to announce her appointment to this important position,” Parr said in a release. “Her dedicated professionalism and demonstrated experience, both at the system and the school level, will make her an asset to the senior team at St. Clair Catholic.”
Demers began her teaching career in 1993 with the former Kent County Roman Catholic Separate School Board as a classroom teacher at St. Vincent Catholic School in Chatham. In 2004 she was appointed System Resource Teacher – Special Education Behaviour for St. Clair Catholic, and in 2007 became System Program Resource Consultant. She led the Special Education department for six years beginning in 2009, and in 2015 she was appointed Principal of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School.
Demers’ appointment is effective Dec. 1.
