Longtime Peace Wapiti Public School Division employee and Superintendent of Schools Bob Stewart has announced his retirement.
During his 30-year career with the PWPSD, Stewart occupied a variety of roles, moving from teacher to principal to Assistant Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent, and eventually Superintendent of Schools. His colleagues say he has made a positive impact on trustees, staff, students, and families throughout the division.
Board Chair Lori Grant says the board accepts Stewart’s resignation with “mixed emotions.”
“The Board is so happy for Mr. Stewart and his family as he moves into his next chapter,” she says. “He has always maintained a professional, yet gentle approach while making us laugh as he guides us in making the best decisions for our division.”
The Superintendent shares that he has “thoroughly enjoyed” his career with the PWPSD saying while he will miss it, he is excited for life after work.
“The support I have received has been energizing,” he says. “PWPSD has been a great community to be a part of for over 30 years.”
Stewart’s resignation will take effect on August 31st, 2025.
