Lakeland Catholic School Division is pleased to announce the appointment of Thérèse deChamplain-Good as the New Interim Deputy Superintendent of System Excellence, effective immediately.

Raised on her family farm outside of Legal, Alberta, Thérèse credits her upbringing in a close-knit French Catholic community for shaping her character, resilience, and work ethic.

“I am grateful for the countless memories and experiences that have shaped me,” Thérèse shared. “As I embark on this new chapter, I am honored to join Lakeland Catholic and look forward to working with staff and leaders to continue fostering excellence in a faith-filled learning environment.”

Her 35-year career has been primarily within Catholic education, with experience teaching at all grade  levels in both French and English. Thérèse holds a Bachelor of Education in Secondary Education in French Immersion Schools and a Master of Education in Educational Leadership, both from the University of Alberta. She has held a variety of leadership roles, including Senior Manager at Alberta Education, Executive Director of the Edmonton Regional Learning Consortium, and Assistant Superintendent of Educational Excellence at Elk Island Catholic Schools (EICS). 

“Bringing Thérèse into this role provides the experienced leadership our division needs at a pivotal moment,” reflected Sheldon Germain, Superintendent of Schools.

“With her guidance, we will sharpen our focus on system excellence, ensuring a smooth transition and fostering continued growth and success. Her passion for education and leadership makes her a valuable addition to the Lakeland Catholic family.” 

Under Thérèse’s guidance, Lakeland Catholic will continue building on its legacy of excellence by driving innovation and unlocking new potential throughout the division, empowering students, staff, and the broader community to reach new heights. 

As we continue to focus on system excellence, Therese will remain in this interim role until Lakeland Catholic selects a permanent replacement. There will be an executive search to ensure that our selection for  this new leadership role is thoughtful and fully aligned with the values of Lakeland Catholic.
