Near North District School Board (NNDSB) is proud to recognize the appointment of Principal Emily Samuel as an executive member of the Ontario Principals' Council (OPC). She was appointed to a member-at-large position and will serve for the 2024-2025 school year.
OPC represents more than 5,400 principals and vice-principals in public education districts across the province. As an executive member, Samuel will support OPC in achieving its mission of developing, supporting and promoting exemplary leadership for student success in our schools. Prior to this year, Samuel served as an elected provincial councillor with OPC.
"Having the opportunity to work as an executive member means so much to me because it provides another opportunity to positively influence public education," Samuel said. "Changing education from the inside out is my goal and thanks to this opportunity with OPC, I will have a deeper understanding of the systemic issues that exist provincially and how we might develop solutions to address them. I am passionate about developing creative pathways that will allow all students to achieve success in school."
Samuel works as a system principal with NNDSB and holds responsibility in the safe schools, early years and leadership development portfolios.
