A high school principal has been appointed to the role of superintendent of education for the St. Clair Catholic District School Board (SCCDSB).
Chris Kehoe will replace Scott Johnson, who will take over as director of education in October when Deb Crawford retires.
“With his breadth of experience as a Catholic leader in our Board, [Kehoe] is ready and well-prepared to take on the important role of Superintendent of Education," said Crawford in a statement.
Kehoe is the current principal of St. Patrick’s Catholic High School in Sarnia and will officially step into his new role on September 1.
He received his teaching degree at the University of Windsor and started his teaching career at Ursuline College in 1998. He later taught at schools in Brockville, Ottawa, and Windsor before returning to UCC in 2003. He also obtained his Catholic Supervisory Officers qualifications in 2012.
Kehoe has also been a member of various committees including the Indigenous Education Committee, Special Education Student Services, EQAO, Budget Committee, and the Youth Ministry Advisory Board.
It's unknown at this time who will replace Kehoe as principal at St. Pat's but an announcement is expected in the coming days.
