South East Cornerstone Public School Division announced today that Ryan Fowler has accepted the permanent position of Principal for Weyburn Comprehensive School, starting September 2018.

"The position of Principal for Weyburn Comprehensive School was posted on January 25th. Consistent with all our open admin positions, we post these vacancies on our website and on the 'Apply to Education' website in order to receive interest at a national level," explained Keith Keating, Deputy Director and Director of Personnel, South East Cornerstone Public School Division.

Keating also said the Principal Position Application information was also sent to Universities in Saskatchewan and Brandon University, Manitoba.

"We try to fill these important positions as early as possible when a new one is available. In the last two weeks we have shortlisted, interviewed and hired for two key Principalships in the system."

Keating congratulated Fowler and also Annemarie Rosner. Rosner is a Career Principal from Macoun who accepted the position of Principal of Lampman School.

He was previously the Principal in Oungre school, Pangman School and the Former Weyburn Junior High School. Most recently he held the position of Vice Principal of Weyburn Comprehensive School."

Fowler was appointed Acting Principal of WCS in the Fall of 2017 after the Principalship duties were removed from Wade Oberg.

Keating also said there are now two Vice Principal positions opening up with a retirement and the appointment of Fowler as Principal.
