Lyle Kennedy Named as Principal of Schuler School

Prairie Rose Public Schools is pleased to announce that Lyle Kennedy has accepted the position of Principal at Schuler School starting the 2023-2024 school year. Lyle will assume the role following the departure of Lisa Lindsay, who was recently announced as the new Director of Student Experiences for Prairie Rose Public Schools.

Lyle is a longtime Prairie Rose Public Schools educator with 32 years of teaching experience. Over the course of his career, Lyle’s teaching, administration and extra-curricular experiences are all well suited for this new assignment. This includes several previous leadership roles, including acting principal of the former Manyberries School for four years, principal of Jenner School for six years, and vice principal of Seven Persons School for seven years. Lyle currently works as a teacher at Parkside Jr High School in Redcliff, where he has been for the last 11 years. In addition to a Bachelor of Education from the University of Lethbridge, he has a Master of Education in Instruction and Leadership from Gonzaga University.

"I feel deeply honoured and grateful to have the chance to work alongside the team at Schuler School," says Kennedy. “I eagerly anticipate collaborating with the staff, the Schuler community, and the students. Returning to rural education feels like a true homecoming for me having grown up in a rural community myself. I am excited to actively engage with, support, and create new and exceptional programs and opportunities for our students and the wider community.”

Prairie Rose Public Schools congratulates Lyle Kennedy. With his extensive experience in education and leadership within the district, Lyle is well-prepared to take on this role and continue the tradition of excellence at Schuler School.
