The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board is searching for an exceptional Director of Education to guide our Catholic learning community forward. This is more than a leadership role – it’s a calling to help lead and shape the future of Catholic education across a diverse and vibrant region. We’re looking for a visionary servant-leader who blends humility with confidence, strategic insight with hands-on engagement, and innovation with a deep respect for community. You will champion Gospel values, inspire excellence, and build strong partnerships with trustees, staff, students, parents, clergy, and community leaders. If you have the proven ability to navigate complexity, unite people around a shared mission, and create an environment where every student, family and staff member feels valued, we invite you to bring your talents and passion to this vital role. Join us—and lead with faith, integrity, and purpose.

The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board inspires and nurtures strong communities of faith, engaged communities of learning, and compassionate communities of service.
