Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools Board of Education announces new superintendent

NANAIMO, BC – The Nanaimo Ladysmith Board of Education is pleased to announce that Robyn Gray has been selected to fill the position of superintendent effective November 18, 2024.

Robyn is currently the superintendent of schools for Cowichan Valley School District (CVSD), a role she has held since 2019.

She holds a Master of Educational Leadership from the University of Victoria, a Bachelor of Education with a focus on Indigenous and Inclusive Education from Nipissing University, and a Bachelor of Arts in History from Laurentian University.

“We are excited to welcome Robyn back to Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools,” said Greg Keller, Board Chair, Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools (NLPS). “Robyn’s knowledge of our community and experience in our schools combined with half a decade of exceptional leadership in a superintendent role will directly benefit our staff and learners. We look forward to Robyn’s leadership in creating an inclusive and equitable learning community at Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools where every individual thrives. Together we will work towards increasing the number of students who feel welcome, safe and have a sense of belonging in their school and the number of staff who feel valued and engaged in the district.”

Robyn has previously held the roles of vice-principal, principal, district principal- Aboriginal Education, director of instruction and assistant superintendent with NLPS.

I believe my previous experience in the district allows me to support the great work and initiatives already underway, while my experience as superintendent in Cowichan allows me to embrace fresh perspectives and ways of knowing that will support the district’s goals. I am looking forward to the opportunity to serve NLPS learners, caregivers and staff in this role.”
