Image credit: NLPS. An administrative shuffle will see principals changing schools for Northern Lights. 

NLPS put out a release stating that two principals will swap schools: Jason Whaley who is currently at Nelson Heights School will go North Star Elementary, while Kim MacLeod will then swap and go to Nelson Heights. 

Meanwhile, assistant principal at Cold Lake Junior High, Twila Moore, will be the new assistant principal at Cold Lake Elementary. 

Nicole Coben, assistant principal at North Star Elementary School, will become assistant principal at Cold Lake Junior High. 

“It is important for our administrators to gain experience working in different school environments, including different age and grade levels of students,” said Superintendent Rick Cusson about the shuffle.

“We are also committed to building strong leadership teams at our schools to ensure we are meeting the needs of our students and providing them with an environment where they can learn and excel.”

There will be three assistant principal positions that need to be filled in Cold Lake for the 2024-2025 school year – one at North Star Elementary School, one at Nelson Heights School, and one at Cold Lake High School.

NLPS says these are being advertised and more information will be shared once those positions have been filled.
