Diane Tremblay

Diane Tremblay, the administrator for the Barron Area School District, was a Grade 4 student when her parents, Paul and Susan Baron moved to northwestern Wisconsin from northern Illinois more than three decades ago, and bought the Twin Bay Resort, on the Chippewa Flowage.

Instead of pursuing a career as a veterinarian, Tremblay decided to go into education. After spending more than two decades working in education at Hayward, Tremblay said she was attracted to the job in Barron “because the district has been so welcoming" (and) everyone there has student achievement and success in mind.

In addition to her work in education, Tremblay is also involved in a couple family businesses, including her husband’s beef cattle operation, known as Sweet Acres Farming, retail leasing properties, and candy factories called Tremblay’s Sweet Shop Stores and they have building locations in Hayward, Minocqua, and Eagle River.

Diane holds a bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences and psychology from St. Cloud State University, Minnesota, a master's degree from Cardinal Stritch University, Milwaukee, and she intends to continue working toward her doctorate degree. She also holds certifications in Curriculum, Principalship and District Administration.
