The Thunder Bay Catholic District School Board named its new Superintendent of Education.

The Catholic school board officially appointed Maria Vasanelli on Thursday but held off on the announcement for almost a week.

Vasanelli, a graduate from Lakehead University’s Faculty of Education, worked in nearly all educational positions, from teacher to principal, and spent 20 years as a superintendent for the Durham Catholic District School Board.

After spending so much time away from Thunder Bay, Vasanelli said she was glad to be coming home.

“I’m very excited about it,” Vasanelli said in a phone interview with tbnewswatch.com on Tuesday.

“I’ve always been drawn back to Thunder Bay. I love the community and I wanted to get back to some good old healthy living. I guess my heart has always been with the community.”

She said she wanted to keep student achievement a high priority as well as utilizing more technology in the classrooms.
