Chinook’s Edge welcomes Mike Garrow as new Associate Superintendent of People Services
Chinook’s Edge School Division (CESD) has selected Mike Garrow to become the new Associate Superintendent of People Services.
CESD officials say Garrow comes to the role after a year of serving as Division Principal and, prior to that, as the Principal at École H.J. Cody High School in Sylvan Lake for seven years.
“We are pleased to welcome Mike Garrow to the role of Associate Superintendent of People Services,” said Kurt Sacher, Superintendent, Chinook’s Edge School Division. “Mike’s proven ability to make complex decisions in a thoughtful, efficient and calm way, his work ethic, and especially his skill working with people, make him a great fit for this role. As a part of the hiring process, I spoke with many of the people Mike has worked with closely, and without exception they commented about Mike’s integrity – saying how much they trust and appreciate him as a leader.”
Sacher said the division received and considered applications from inside Chinook’s Edge and from across Alberta, Canada and the United States. Officials say the position of Associate Superintendent of People Services became available after long-serving Chinook’s Edge leader, Ray Hoppins, announced his upcoming retirement, following a 32-year career in education.
