Eric Cameron

After teaching junior high and elementary school (as well as being an administrator) in Fort McMurray for six years, Eric and his family moved to Spruce Grove in 1980 where Eric began a 31 year career with Parkland School Division as a teacher and administrator. In addition to administration, Eric taught grades 3 to 7 at Stony Plain Elementary and moved to Brookwood School and taught grade 4. Eric has a strong and supportive family which includes his wife, Jane, and two married daughters (Lisa and Alison) who were both educated in Spruce Grove schools. Eric and Jane’s four grandchildren provide a new perspective to their lives. Eric and Jane believe strongly in an active, healthy and balanced lifestyle and can often be spotted enjoying the outdoors, attending the theatre, or enjoying the many festivals and events held in Spruce Grove and surrounding areas.

Eric is currently working together with his fourth Board of Trustees, having served as Board Chair for six years with previous Boards. During his years serving Parkland School Division (PSD), Eric has encouraged and supported a team approach to solving problems and setting direction for the Division. From his years as teacher and administrator, Eric has kept well-informed of current trends and research in all facets of education and has an implicit understanding of how decisions made at the Board table affect frontline staff. As a board member, Eric has also developed a clear understanding that management, through Trustee and administration collaboration, is crucial to a progressive and successful educational organization.
