We are very excited to welcome you to the 2025/26 school year at Fort McMurray Catholic Schools! 

As your Board of Trustees we are elected to advocate for students and families to ensure that education is given a high priority, as well as being charged with the responsibility to govern the affairs of the school authority under the Education Act.

Our role includes:

• using available resources to set strategic priorities
• developing effective governance policies and practices
• driving provincial policy changes
• ensuring financial transparency
• ensuring parents’ voices, students’ needs and publicly funded Catholic schools remain at the forefront in Alberta’s education system

School boards exercise leadership through governance in three areas: fiduciary leadership; strategic leadership and generative leadership. As your choice for publicly funded Catholic education, our goal is to govern with a Catholic mindset.

If you have any questions about the roles, responsibilities, and direction of your Board of Trustees we recommend you visit our website (https://www.fmcschools.ca/board-of-trustees) or contact Board Members. 

Every student’s educational journey is different, and when students, families, and schools work together, children tend to have better educational outcomes. We highly recommend getting involved with your School Councils. School Councils are one of the first points of contact and an essential link between schools, families, and the Board of Trustees. 

“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” - Matthew 18:20

Thank you for entrusting your child(ren) to us as we look forward to another incredible year of learning and growing in the Fort McMurray Catholic Schools family!
