Feature Story: Alumnus honoured as top principal

Abstract

Alumnus James Wahl (B.Ed. ’95) has been recognized as one of the top principals in Canada. Canada’s Outstanding Principals Awards are presented annually by The Learning Partnership, a national charitable organization with a mandate to support, promote, and advance public education in Canada. Wahl is one of 40 principals from across Canada to receive the award this year. In addition to Wahl’s numerous innovative initiatives The Learning Partnership says Wahl had shown that “learning is about the journey rather than the destination.” He is currently the principal at St. Francis Community School, which is part of the Regina Catholic School Division. Prior this position, Wahl served as principal at St. Jerome School and St. Michael Community School.
