Incoming assistant principal, Greg Freer
Livingstone Range School Division last week announced Greg Freer is assistant principal of F.P. Walshe school in Fort Macleod beginning in the 2023-’24 school year.
Freer will replace Mary Krizan, who is retiring at the end of the 2022-’23 term.
Freer holds Bachelor of Education and Master of Education in Educational Leadership degrees from the University of Alberta.
Freer has been principal of Matthew Halton school in Pincher Creek for the past three years and was the assistant principal there the previous 4 1/2 years.
Freer has been a Humanities teacher, academic advisor, student council advisor, and a member of the Livingstone Range administration Leader to Leader committee.
When Freer joins the F.P. Walshe team he will be entering his 30th year as an educator.
F.P. Walshe principal Chad Jensen is excited about the addition of Freer to the school’s staff.
“To bring someone with Greg’s experience and skill set into a leadership role at F.P. Walshe school is amazing,” Jensen said. “I look forward to the opportunity to work with Greg, and his collaborative student-first approach is going to be a welcome addition to our team.”
Freer shared his educational and leadership philosophy.
“I believe everyone brings something to the table and I value learning from others as I continue to grow,” Freer said. “With this move to F.P. Walshe I look forward to interacting with new stakeholders in education, further enhancing my growth.“
Outside of school, Freer has trained for several years as a martial artist and now pursues mountain biking.
