April 21, 2026
The Kenora Catholic District School Board (KCDSB) is pleased to announce the appointment of Jordan Temple as Principal of St. John Paul II School, effective July 1, 2026.

Jordan has supported the St. John Paul II School community for nearly 18 years in a variety of roles, including as a classroom teacher and as a system Math Lead. Since 2024, he has served as Vice Principal at École Ste-Marguerite Bourgeoys. With extensive experience in instructional leadership, he brings a strong commitment to Catholic education, student success, and servant leadership.
 
"It is with great confidence that we welcome Jordan Temple as the new Principal of St. John Paul II School," said Kylie Hughes, Superintendent of Education. "Jordan is a faith-filled leader who is compassionate, caring, and courageous. Through his work as a system Math Lead, he has mentored educators and supported strong instructional practices across our schools. His connection to the St. John Paul II community, combined with his experience and focus on academic growth, will support both student achievement and well-being. We look forward to seeing the school continue to grow as a strong, inclusive, and connected community under his leadership."

"I approach this role with deep gratitude and a strong connection to the St. John Paul II School community, which has been a meaningful part of my journey for many years. I am committed to supporting staff in their excellent work while fostering continued growth and collaboration," said Temple.

Guided by servant leadership, I will continue to support a school culture rooted in love, dignity, and mutual respect, building on the strong foundation already in place at St. John Paul II School. I am also deeply grateful for my time at École Ste-Marguerite Bourgeoys and for the relationships built with staff, students, and families."

The Kenora Catholic District School Board extends its sincere thanks to Tammy Bush, Principal of St. John Paul II School, for her many years of dedicated service and leadership. We wish her all the best in her upcoming retirement.

The Kenora Catholic District School Board congratulates Jordan Temple on his appointment and looks forward to his leadership at St. John Paul II School.
