In 2023, NPSC launched the inaugural Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board Director of Education Award of Excellence in Catholic Education, recognizing and celebrating the exemplary achievements of our staff in the service of Catholic Education. 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, and this year, we are proud to announce the 2024 Director of Education Award of Excellence in Catholic Education recipients!
Nominated by their peers, this year’s 20 recipients from across our NPSC family embody our NPSC vision Rooted in Faith, Alive in Spirit and our Gospel values through their respective roles. Throughout this school year, we have been celebrating our Board's Pastoral theme of Love leading to our Catholic Education Week’s theme “We Are Called To Love” in May. This recognition is also a testament to their remarkable contributions to Catholic education, unwavering commitment to achieving our strategic ENDs, and for the inspiration they foster to others in our school and Board community.
