New principal for Churchill Community High School
Kristianna Merasty has taken over as the new principal of La Ronge’s Churchill Community High School.
“It’s something I have worked towards for a long time,” she said.
“Last year, I took a year off and I went to work for Lac La Ronge Indian Band Education in their central office, however, I really missed the kids and wanted to come back. When this opportunity came, I was like ‘there’s an opportunity to come back in a leadership position, but also work with kids still.’”
Merasty is taking over from Scott Tomporowski, who remains at Churchill but is teaching Food Studies and Math 10 and 20 this academic year. Merasty has 18 years of experience at Churchill, including eight years as the vice principal.
