Greetings from the Vice Principal

I come to your From Thousand Islands Secondary School where I worked as a Vice Principal and as a teacher in the Mathematics Department for 23 years. Along the way I did a year in Toronto working at EQAO coordinating the Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics. I am the current past president of the Ontario Association for Mathematics Education.

I cannot express how much I look forward to working here at South Grenville. The change is refreshing and I am thankful that I got such a prestigious posting. I have been in the building working with Mrs. Bauder since the middle of August and all the wonderful things I have heard about her are turning out to be true. Please do not hesitate to call me or email me at gordon.cooke@ucdsb.on.ca if I can be of any help to you or you student.
