A familiar face in Frontier School Division is being promoted to oversee the largest geographic school board in the province.

The northern district’s board of trustees has selected an experienced division administrator, Tyson MacGillivray, to take the top job ahead of the 2024-25 school year.

Prior to joining the division, MacGillivray was a teacher, vice-principal and principal in Shamattawa.

The father of three has been Frontier’s Area 3 superintendent — a position that oversees programming in schools located in communities including Churchill, Matheson Island and God’s Lake Narrows — since 2018.

The incoming chief superintendent has a bachelor of science degree in physical education and a masters in educational administration from St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S. He is also a graduate of Frontier’s school division leadership program.

MacGillivray is a board member at the Verna J. Kirkness Education Foundation, a Canadian charity whose mandate is to address under-representation of First Nations, Métis and Inuit students at universities across the country.

He will assume his new role on Aug. 1.

Longtime leader Reg Klassen submitted his retirement notice in October.
