Meet Our Principal
Tom Eccleston
As an educator for 25 years and a father for nearly as long, I know how important a high-quality education is for our children. With optimism, I envision our students developing into educated citizens, who are curious, resilient, and finding joy and purpose in life.
How do we prepare students to thrive in an interconnected world, for jobs that have yet to be created?
How do we equip our students with an appreciation for differences in perspective and to act responsibly to strengthen an equitable society?
Grand Forks Secondary School is an inclusive school; we welcome every student. We believe everyone has something to contribute to our positive, diverse community because we are stronger together. We believe that everyone has a role to play in Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and we use the Circle of Courage as a model for meeting the universal needs of our youth (belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity).
At GFSS, our professional staff bring high quality teaching and leadership for impactful student-centred learning. We create healthy and effective learning environments and are dedicated to encouraging and empowering each student to reach their full potential. We offer robust, innovative educational programs ensuring that every graduate is prepared, has personal agency, and can adapt to a changing world.
I heartily invite all students, parents, and community partners to engage with our learning community and discover how together we can make a positive impact on our world.
