After 18 years of dedicated service, Betty Turpin has announced her retirement as Superintendent of Holy Family Catholic Regional Division, effective August 2025.
“On behalf of the entire school board, I want to extend our deepest gratitude to Superintendent Turpin for her remarkable leadership and dedication to our division,” said Board Chair Kelly Whalen. “Over the years, Betty has been a guiding force in Catholic Education, inspiring both students and staff alike, and leaving an indelible mark on our communities. Her legacy will continue to shape our schools for years to come.”
During her tenure, Superintendent Turpin led the division through several important milestones, including the building of the Grimshaw Shared School Facility, adding vape detectors in all the division’s schools and leading the growth in mental health services in education. Most recently, she welcomed St. Thomas More School into the division, ensuring the portables project moved forward.
“As I prepare to retire, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone I’ve worked with at HFCRD,” said Superintendent Turpin. “Over the years, I’ve been privileged to lead such a dedicated group of educators, students and families. Together, we’ve built a strong foundation for future success, and while I’m stepping away from my role, the work we’ve done will continue to inspire and shape the area for years to come.”
Turpin took over the role as Superintendent at HFCRD in August 2007, after three years as Deputy Superintendent with Grande Prairie & District Catholic Schools.
The HFCRD Board of Trustees will begin the search for a new superintendent in the coming months and are committed to ensuring a smooth transition as the leadership changes hands.
