We are excited to announce the appointment of Patrick Eby as the newest member of the WCDSB senior leadership team, joining us in the role of Superintendent of Learning.

Patrick brings a wealth of experience in Catholic education, system leadership, and student-centred innovation. With a deep commitment to fostering inclusive, faith-filled learning environments, he will play a key role in advancing our strategic priorities and supporting student success across the board.
A respected and long-serving leader within WCDSB, Patrick began his educational journey with the board in 2002. He taught history, law and social science before stepping into a range of leadership roles, including program area head, student achievement consultant, vice-principal, and most recently, principal of St. David Catholic Secondary School in Waterloo. He is also a proud graduate of our Catholic Leadership Program.
Patrick also brings extensive experience in curriculum writing and development, including a secondment with the Ministry of Education's e-Learning Ontario branch, and contributions to curriculum and programs for Historica Canada and Student Vote. He has played a key role on numerous WCDSB system-level committees and initiatives - championing innovation, multilingual language learners, safe schools, health and safety, and alternative education. His leadership is rooted in building inclusive cultures where all students are given the opportunity to thrive.
Please join us in extending a warm welcome and heartfelt congratulations to Patrick Eby as he steps into this important role. We look forward to the passion and perspective he will continue to bring to the WCDSB community.
