Christ The Redeemer (CTR) Catholic Schools is pleased to announce Mrs. Carmen Ostafichuk as the Director of Human Resources 

Congratulations to Carmen Ostafichuk who has accepted the position of Director of Human Resources with Christ The Redeemer (CTR) Catholic Schools. 

Mrs. Ostafichuk began teaching for CTR in the fall of 1996 after completing her Bachelor of Education degree at the University of Calgary with a major in mathematics.  She taught full time at Holy Trinity for eight years, pausing to have two awesome children.  When her kids were small, she became the Vice Principal at Trinity and completed her Masters in Leadership in Administration with Gonzaga University.  Her culminating project researched what a small committee of parents did in order to establish a Catholic School Division in Okotoks and she has always considered the work she does as a teacher and administrator to honour what they started.  In 2010, she became the Principal of Holy Trinity and has been extremely fortunate to have served in this capacity, to have continued to work in the Mathematics and Religion classrooms and to teach and/or be the Administrator of summer school at Trinity for over 20 years.  She is currently working on her Human Resource Extension Certificate through Mount Royal University. 

 Mrs. Ostafichuk shares, “The staff in our schools are the most important aspect of them, and I feel compelled to care for both new and current individuals pursuing their vocation with our incredible Division.  I am blessed to be given the opportunity to serve Christ The Redeemer Catholic Schools in this capacity.”  As her youngest graduates from Trinity this year, they will close the Trinity chapter for their family together and branch out on a larger scale.  

Chief Deputy Superintendent Vincent Behm shares, “Mrs. Ostafichuk's passion for Catholic education, supporting new and experienced teachers, knowledge of our school division and her outstanding leadership skills will be a tremendous addition to CTR Catholic in her new role as Director of Human Resources.“  Mrs. Ostafichuk will begin her transition to her new role in the spring.
