Four new principals are scheduled to head four Grande Prairie Public School Division schools during the 2024-25 school year.
Colin Murphy will serve as Principal of Aspen Grove School, Tracey Thiemann will take on the role of Acting Principal for Avondale School, Josh Hartman will take over Crystal Park School, and Mike Humbke will do the same for Hillside Community School.
All four will begin their work in August and were selected based on what the GPPSD calls a “strong commitment to educational excellence.”
“These principals have demonstrated a strong commitment to educational excellence, fostering positive school environments within GPPSD schools,” the GPPSD says.
The school division maintains that they have “every confidence” that the new principals will continue their high-quality work, helping both students and staff reach their full potential during their time with the GPPSD.
