“Tim was selected from a field of truly outstanding candidates. We believe that his focus on student learning, his strong work commitment and his ability to work collaboratively are an excellent fit for building on the current strengths of Wolf Creek School Division.”

“People who work within education systems are charged with caring for and being a part of developing the most precious resource we have, our children. This is a tremendous responsibility, and it has been an honor for me to be involved in a profession where I can make a contribution to the education of children,” says De Ruyck.

“I believe all students must have a safe and stimulating learning environment, and that within that environment student diversity is to be celebrated. All students must have a strong sense of belonging within their school community.”

Tim and his wife Sherry have three children, Jacob, Emma, and Mason.
