VICE PRINCIPAL – Stephanie Dube
I am very excited to be venturing into this new role as vice-principal here at St. Andrew’s.
I completed my Bachelor of Arts, Music Major, in 2001, and my Bachelor of Education in 2003, both at Concordia University.
I have spent time in the classroom in various capacities, including teaching music, grades one and two, junior high math and working in student services.
I grew up in High Prairie, and the Lesser Slave Lake Region is my home.
I have been blessed to have been a student at this school, a teacher in a variety of positions, and to now have my own daughter attending here. St. Andrew’s has truly been a family experience.
My passions are music, technology and, most importantly, teaching and learning. I look forward to the opportunity to further develop my skill set.
It is my pleasure to be here to serve you and our students.
