Dear DGS Families,
As mentioned earlier this week, your new principal is Chris Keuben who will begin on February 3. Chris and I will be spending time together discussing all aspects of life at DGS as part of the transition. Chris is an experienced and well-regarded principal who will serve this school community well. I shared the news with former principal Chantal Malette and she is delighted with the news. Below is the introduction that was sent out last Monday. Mr. Keuben will attend this month’s School Council meeting on January 28 at 7:00pm.
Dear Dr. George Stanley School Community,
I am honored and excited to begin my role of principal at Dr. George Stanley, beginning February 3. It is a privilege to join a school with such a strong vision of innovation and community, and I am eager to become part of the inspiring learning environment you have created.
With 27 years of experience in middle schools as a teacher, learning leader, assistant principal, and principal, my career has been devoted to supporting the growth and success of adolescent learners. My experiences include many schools in South Calgary, including Nickle, Robert Warren, Harold Panabaker, and currently David Thompson.
I appreciate Dr. George Stanley School’s commitment to innovation, authentic learning experiences, and fostering meaningful relationships, which are key elements in creating a thriving middle school community. I am also inspired by the school’s dedication to fostering trust, challenge, and engagement—foundations that are critical to both learning and personal growth.
I look forward to an exciting journey ahead at Dr. George Stanley School!
Kind regards,
Chris Keuben
