A Word from the Superintendent of Schools

Kathleen Finnigan, Superintendent of Schools

Inspired by Christ. Aspiring to Excellence.

Welcome to Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools. In our division, students are offered a Catholic world-view. All are loved by God and our mission is to allow students to grow physically, academically, socially, morally and spiritually. 

Our schools are also places of great diversity. Students of all intellectual, cultural and faith backgrounds are welcome. Our schools are safe and welcoming, where student success is our priority. Each student matters and every learner contributes to the learning environment and enriches our Catholic faith community. Students are given the knowledge, freedom and confidence needed to reach their full potential.

As we move forward, we are working together to ensure students receive the best possible faith-based education. The Board of Trustees and Senior Administration have set out four goals: competence, cohesiveness, transparency and trustworthiness. As we continue to advocate for our students and staff, these goals will be our guiding principles. 

Through the teachings of Christ, we will continue to strive for excellence and provide a quality inclusive education for our students.

It is truly an honour to serve you and your children,

Dr. Kathleen Finnigan, Superintendent of Schools
