WATERLOO CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
WCDSB Welcomes New Superintendent

The Waterloo Catholic District School Board is pleased to welcome new Superintendent Paul Mendonca.

Paul replaces former WCDSB Superintendent John Klein, who was recently appointed Director of Education of the Halton Catholic District School Board.

Paul began his educational journey with the Waterloo Catholic District School Board in 1998. He has been a teacher, vice principal and a principal with Waterloo Catholic.  He is currently the principal of Holy Spirit Catholic Elementary School in Cambridge. He also serves as director on the board for the Catholic Community Foundation of Waterloo Region, an organization committed to supporting social justice initiatives and the region's Catholic schools, parishes, and Catholic organizations.

Paul's passion for leadership development is reflected in his work as a long-time member of the WCDSB's leadership steering committee, where he co-facilitates Part 1 of the leadership series, which is designed to provide an opportunity for WCDSB staff to grow their leadership capacity through discussion, reflection, and discernment.

"I am honoured to be a part of the outstanding work that the WCDSB continues to do on behalf of Catholic education in Waterloo Region. I look forward to the challenges and opportunity to serve alongside the staff, students, and families of the Waterloo Catholic District School Board".

- Paul Mendonca, Superintendent of Learning

"We are very excited to have Paul join our Senior Team. His extensive experience as a long-time Administrator, coupled with his expertise in leadership development, will be a major asset as we grow our next generation of WCDSB leaders".

- Tyrone Dowling, Director of Education
