​KDSS says farewell to long-time vice-principal at end of 2023-24 school year

Students and staff at Kincardine District Senior School (KDSS) said farewell to long-time vice-principal Lori Templeton at the awards assembly held June 20, at the end of the 2023-24 school year.

Principal Don Burns said Templeton has been an educator for 30 years, serving more than 20 of those years at KDSS.

“She has been a teacher here, a co-op teacher and an administrator,” he said. “She has been dedicated to student success and we’re going to miss her in September.”

“I can’t believe it’s been 30 years,” said Templeton. “KDSS is a fabulous school. I’ve worked with some amazing staff who have become friends. I’m going to miss the students the most, and I wish you all the best.

“I plan to return to supply here at KDSS, so you’re not going to get rid of me just yet.

“Be the best you can be! Go, Knights!”
