Principal’s Message

Greetings and welcome to the Principal’s corner of our website!


I am proud to share that serving the students, staff, and families of Opeongo High School as Principal has been an absolute highlight of my career in public education. Opeongo has a history of more than 50 years of excellence in public education, with a proud tradition of rigour and high expectations in academics, vibrant extracurriculars, and 


Visitors to Opeongo often comment on the warm and welcoming environment and peaceful vibe that our school has, nestled into the farmland of the Ottawa Valley. Our culture of care and primary focus on student success ensures that every student who comes through the green doors has the opportunity and support to reach their personal best. 


History and traditions aside, we also aim for continuous improvement, adapting our practices, course offerings, and surroundings to make positive progress toward best meeting the needs of our students’ futures. These changes can be prompted from many sources, including you!  We welcome your feedback and are always happy to discuss ways to enhance the student experience at our school. Do not hesitate to reach out to me, your School Council, or your student’s teacher to share your ideas.


At Opeongo we learn to live, and live to learn. We look forward to sharing this with you.
