Board of Trustees

Our Board is governed by a Board of Trustees, elected during municipal elections. Among other things, the Board helps set our Mission and goals, help implement provincial educational policies, and manages Thunder Bay Catholic’s budget.

The trustees listed below are available and accessible to discuss topics related to the school board as a whole, including system-wide policies and future plans. Specific concerns about individual schools or their child’s education should be directed to the school itself.
