Percy Page High School as the Assistant Department Head of Student Services and Counselor, Westmount Junior High as Assistant Principal, Leadership Development Consultant at the Centre for Education, Acting Principal at Edith Rogers Junior High and Principal at Horse Hill Elementary. It is an honour to now have the opportunity to serve Mary Butterworth Junior High. I extend an open invitation to everyone to contact me to learn more on how we can provide support and work together to best meet the needs of our community.  

At Mary Butterworth, a tradition of high standards for achievement and citizenship continues. We support all students through a caring and respectful learning environment and work closely with families to foster students' emotional, academic, and physical development.
