Thanks to her wealth of experience, her community network, her leadership and her infectious energy, the Conseil scolaire du Grand Nord is convinced that she will be an outstanding leader for the founding staff members of Blind River’s new public school.
As the founding principal of this new school, she will build links with the community, help to oversee construction, implement academic programming and recruit personnel. As a citizen of Blind River for 16 years, she will take her role of regional ambassador to heart. Ms. Rancourt begins her new duties today.
