A Familiar Face Returns: Greg Elgie Named Principal of Parkside Junior High School

Parkside Junior High School will welcome a familiar face this fall, as Greg Elgie returns to the school community as Principal beginning Fall 2026.

Greg brings 14 years of experience with Prairie Rose Public Schools, along with a strong connection to Parkside Junior High School and the Redcliff community. A former Redcliff student, Greg previously worked at Parkside for eight years as a teacher and two years as vice‑principal, supporting academic programming and student development within the Grade 7–9 school setting.

Greg is currently Vice‑Principal at Eagle Butte High School, where he has provided leadership in school operations, instructional practice, student support, and facility management. His experience working across both junior high and high school environments offers valuable insight into student transitions and continuity of learning as students progress through their educational journey.

Greg holds a Master of Education from the University of Victoria and a Bachelor of Education from the University of Alberta. Throughout his career, he has been actively involved in school and division‑based initiatives, including school improvement planning, professional learning, technology integration, and collaborative instructional leadership aligned with Prairie Rose Public Schools’ three‑year education plan.

“Having grown up in Redcliff, I recognize that Parkside is an integral part of the community,” says Elgie. “It has been wonderful to be part of the school’s growth and development, and I am excited to return to Parkside in this role as we continue to build meaningful learning opportunities for students.”

In addition to his administrative leadership, Greg has demonstrated a strong commitment to student engagement and community connection through his long‑standing involvement in athletics as an athletic director, coach, and association leader.

Prairie Rose Public Schools would like to thank Greg for his leadership and contributions at Eagle Butte High School, where he has made a meaningful impact that will continue in his new role at Parkside.
