We are pleased to share that Angela McHardy and Jordan Figueiredo have been appointed as Superintendents of Learning with the Waterloo Catholic District School Board, effective August 24, 2026.
Angela joins us from the London District Catholic School Board. She is recognized for her experience in special education, inclusive practices, and faith-centered leadership, and has led diverse school communities while advocating for equitable outcomes and high achievement for all learners. As Principal of Amethyst Demonstration School, Southwestern Ontario's provincially designated Tier 3 intervention school, she led specialized programming for some of Ontario's highest-needs learners, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams on evidence-based intervention models that strengthened literacy and numeracy outcomes. She serves as the Elementary Principal Representative on SEAC and is an instructor for CPCO's Special Education for Administrators program.
Jordan is known to many as a dedicated and respected faith-filled leader, most recently serving as Principal of St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School in Cambridge, where he led the school through a period of significant growth and transformation. He is known for creating cultures of belonging, collaboration, and innovation, and has a long-standing commitment to coaching and mentorship, recently completing his term as President of District 8 Athletics. Through his leadership on board-level committees, including the current Multi-Year Strategic Plan, Jordan has helped lead system improvement and alignment.
Please congratulate Angela and Jordan on this well-deserved appointment. We look forward to the continued impact they will make in service of our students, staff, and school communities.
