As an important part of the process, HYA is hosting a series of input meetings and focus groups next month with teachers, support staff, community partners, and more.

Additionally,
an online survey is available to provide you and other valued members of our school community with the opportunity to provide input. The deadline for input is Friday, January 24. Parents, please note that students are welcome to take part in the survey as well.
The information collected from these input opportunities will assist the School Board in developing a leadership profile and selection criterion that match the priorities of our community and that meet the unique needs of the students who are served through our school division.
The School Board is committed to conducting a transparent search process, and appreciates your engagement in this important process.
Thank you.
