Chinook’s Edge School Division is starting the 2025–26 school year with an influx of fresh talent, welcoming 51 new teachers to schools across the division.
The new hires include teachers just beginning their careers, educators new to Chinook’s Edge, and those who joined the division partway through the last school year.
Superintendent Ryan Sawula said the boost in staffing follows a wave of retirements at the end of the 2024–25 year.
“We are thrilled to welcome our new teachers to Chinook's Edge,” said Sawula. “We eagerly anticipate the positive contributions they will make to our culture and our shared dedication to student success. All educators are crucial in achieving this goal. We extend our sincere gratitude for their care and continued efforts on behalf of our students and school communities. We know these new members of the Chinook’s Edge team will contribute their unique skills and passions to this collective effort.”
The group officially gathered Tuesday, (August 19), for the division’s new teacher orientation, which provided an introduction to the school community and resources available to support their work in the classroom.
