as Peter Scott takes his leave of SD52

Prince Rupert is about to lose another school administrator to the Grand Forks School District, with Vice Principal Peter Scott having accepted a Principal's position with the Grand Forks SD51 system, following the same trail taken by former Superintendent Ken Minette one year ago.

Mr. Scott who had been with SD52 for three years had served as the Vice-Principal at École Roosevelt Park Community School and one year at Prince Rupert Middle School. He also brought much enthusiasm to a pair of local school initiatives through his work with the local Science Fair and Sphero Olympics.

In a statement released this week by SD52 Irene Lapierre, Superintendent for the Prince Rupert School District made note of Mr. Scott's time on the North Coast.

“The District is very grateful to Peter for his contributions to the school district and we wish Peter the best of luck in his new district”
