“My career as an educator holds both enough challenges and enough rewards to be deeply satisfying, extremely fulfilling, and even exhilarating,” stated Randy Dueck. “I am deeply appreciative of all the opportunities provided to me during my time in Hanover; to teach, serve, grow, lead, and deepen my learning each day. I also want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Board of Trustees for their support over the past seven-plus years, and their unwavering commitment to student learning. I hope to be an educator as long as I am able and look forward with anticipation to what the next chapter will bring.”
Board Chair Rick Peters expressed gratitude on behalf of all HSD Trustees, “We have appreciated working with Randy and the leadership he has brought to Hanover School Division. Randy’s heart for student learning has been evident throughout his tenure in Hanover. As Superintendent/CEO, he was instrumental in bringing Deeper Learning to the division and guiding us through the implementation and embedding process. Randy never lost sight of our mission and always worked toward our shared goals for students and staff – striving for excellence while developing skills and promoting values for a productive and wholesome life. We will certainly miss him.”
