> Meet the Advancement Team

It’s great to be back!

When I graduated from SJR in 1986 I never dreamed I would return as Director of Advancement. This is an opportunity I have eagerly embraced and it is now my chance to give back to the School that had such a profound impact on my life.

The School has grown considerably since I left. With two capital campaigns held over the last twenty years and a growing student population, SJR is always moving forward to build on its rich and illustrious history.

Our plans are to continue this expansion and to provide much needed rejuvenation to already existing facilities. As our vision unfolds we will share the exciting details with you. We also plan to grow the School’s endowment to increase operating dollars and expand our scholarship and bursary component. Our goal is to substantially increase funding to all who want to benefit from an SJR education.

I have truly enjoyed re-visiting with people I knew during my time as a student and meeting the families of today. The message I hear from alumni and parents is the same – SJR is an outstanding School. Not only does SJR prepare you for a successful post-secondary tenure, it prepares you for life outside the classroom. It has a spirit and a soul unto itself.

My door is always open, so please feel free to stop by my office in Thomson House.
