"I am extremely excited for the opportunity to be joining the team in Parkland School Division at Muir Lake School,” states McNaughton. “I look forward to building strong new relationships with the students, staff and school community. I anticipate this year to be an excellent year of continuing to provide a safe, secure, caring and stimulating environment in which students can grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially. I am grateful for the chance to contribute to this as part of the leadership team at Muir Lake School."
Bérénice MacKenzie

As current Assistant Principal Karen Stride-Goudie leaves to her new position as Principal at Muir Lake, Bérénice MacKenzie has enthusiastically accepted the role of Assistant Principal at Blueberry School.
Ms. MacKenzie’s teaching career began in Saskatchewan from 1991 – 1998, then relocating to Alberta where she taught in the Black Gold Regional School Division from 2003 – 2007. She joined the staff at École Broxton Park School in 2007. Bérénice’s 20+ years of experience has seen her teach in regular education, French Immersion and Christian-context classrooms.
