Kids running in celebration of summer break

Dear Greater Essex County District School Board Community,

As the school year comes to an end, I would like to take a moment to reflect on my first year as your Director of Education. It has been an incredible journey filled with growth, learning, and countless moments of inspiration.

 This year has brought many achievements for our students, staff, and community. Our students have excelled in academics, arts, sports, and numerous extracurricular activities. Their enthusiasm and dedication have been truly inspiring, and I am immensely proud of their accomplishments.

Our dedicated educators and staff have worked tirelessly to create an engaging and supportive learning environment. Their commitment to our students' success and well-being has been unwavering, and I am grateful for their passion and professionalism.

Parents and guardians, your support and involvement have been vital to our community's success. Your trust and partnership have been instrumental in creating a nurturing environment where our students can thrive. Thank you for your continued commitment to GECDSB.

Looking ahead, I am excited about the opportunities and challenges the next school year will bring. We will continue to focus on providing a high-quality, inclusive education that prepares our students for the future. We are committed to fostering a community where every student feels safe, valued and supported.

 As I complete my first year in this role, I am filled with gratitude for the warm welcome and support I have received from all of you. I look forward to building on the strong foundation we have established and working together to achieve even greater heights.

Thank you for a memorable and successful year. I wish you all a restful and enjoyable summer.

Warm regards,

Vicki Houston

Director of Education
