The Greater Essex County District School Board’s Board of Trustees has announced that Vicki Houston will be its next Director of Education.

Houston has been a teacher, school administrator and superintendent with the GECDSB for 26 years. Her most recent role has been Superintendent of Human Resources, overseeing the board’s approximately 5,000 employees.

“Listening to and appreciating the diversity of ideas, opinions and perspectives is, I believe, the nature of good leadership,” said Houston. “We have to accept what we learn and incorporate it into our efforts, but we can’t get distracted from our foundational responsibility, which is the success of our students.”

Houston succeeds Erin Kelly, who will retire this summer.
