Keewaytinook Okimakanak has announced that Darrin Potter, current Teacher Mentor in Keewaywin First Nation will be the Principal of KiHS next year. In addition, Marlene McKay, current Teacher Mentor in Frenchman’s Head will be the Vice Principal of KiHS. Darrin (read his staff profile) and Marlene (read her staff profile) bring a wealth of experience and knowledge about the communities with KiHS classrooms. Next year promises be an exciting for the Keewaytinook Internet High School as it expands to offer a full range of Grade 9 and 10 courses in at least 10 First Nations. Be sure to check out all the courses being offered starting in September 2002 in those communities with a KiHS classroom. To date, ten (10) communities will have a KiHS grade 9 and 10 classroom in their communities. They include the following: Cat Lake Fort Severn Frenchman’s Head Keewaywin Kejick Bay North Spirit Lake Sachigo Lake Slate Falls Weagamow Webequie A small number of other First Nations are still deciding whether KiHS can meet their needs. Lots to look forward to during the 2002-2003 school year.
