NPSC Announces the Inaugural
Director of Education Award of Excellence in Catholic Education Recipients
As a Catholic faith community, we are proud to continuously foster a culture of excellence across all schools and sites of the Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board (NPSC).
This year we are excited to launch the inaugural Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board Director of Education Award of Excellence in Catholic Education, that recognizes and celebrates the exemplary achievements of our staff in the service of Catholic Education.
Nominated by their peers, this year’s inaugural 15 recipients from across our NPSC staff embody our NPSC vision “Rooted in Faith & Alive in Spirit” and our Gospel values through their respective roles.
