Students returning to Crawford Bay Elementary School in the fall will see a new face in the halls.
School District 8 (SD8) has announced the hiring of Carmella Mathieu to serve as principal, effective Aug. 1. She will replace current principal Victoria McCallister, who is retiring at the end of this school year.
SD8 said Mathieu has served as principal of elementary schools in both Nicola-Similkameen School District (SD58) and the Kamloops-Thompson School District (SD73) since 2017.
Before that, she was a teacher and a mental health clinician from 2006 to 2016.
“I warmly welcome Ms. Mathieu to SD8 and to Crawford Bay School. Ms. Mathieu will be a wonderful addition to the community of Crawford Bay where the school plays such a central role,” said Superintendent Trish Smillie.
“I thank Principal McCallister for her 21 years of service in SD8 and congratulate her on her retirement. She has left a positive and indelible mark on the communities where she has led educational staff and taught students.”
