Black Gold Principals Recognized for Their Outstanding Leadership

The Jubilee Auditorium on the University of Alberta Campus was abuzz Wednesday evening, May 15th.  Two of Black Gold's principals, Raymond Cable & Susanne Stroud, received the honour of being nominated for the prestigious Council for School Leadership (CSL) Distinguished Leadership Award.

This bestowal creates a learning community of outstanding principals and assistant principals throughout Alberta who can share professionally, interact collegially and act as mentors to new colleagues. It provides avenues for research and sharing of best practices. Distinguished Alberta School Leaders are those who are looking to challenge the status quo, improve learning in their contexts, and be equipped for higher levels of leadership. These individuals are considered role models in a vibrant network of educational leaders with the confidence and capabilities to lead innovative change for 21st century learning.

Congratulations to both Raymond and Susanne; thank you for your commitment and dedication to our students, our division, and life-long learning.  To Susanne, congratulations on being the recipient of the 2013 CSL Distinguished Leadership Award.
