With the growth of Visions West Outreach School in Rocky Mountain House, opportunities have been created to restructure the WRSD school admin teams. This restructuring of our admin teams will allow the senior leadership teams in our schools to continue their success. Wild Rose School Division’s Superintendent of Schools, Brian Celli, is pleased to announce the following administrative appointments for the 2015-2016 school year effective August 2015.

“We are very excited by the opportunity each of these changes will bring to the schools involved,” stated Superintendent, Brian Celli. “Given the strength of these individuals, along with their administrative colleagues, WRSD schools will be well positioned to continue to provide first class learning experiences for all students.”
