TRUSTEE SEAT VACANCY (Zurich, St. Joseph, Dashwood, Mount Carmel and Exeter) 

It is with mixed emotions and on behalf of the Board of Trustees that I announce that Trustee Mike Miller will not be seeking re-election to the Board this Fall. Mike has been a trustee for 30 years and has made an incredible contribution to the system. Trustee Miller has served the Catholic community of Huron-Perth as Chair of the Board, Vice-Chair of the Board and Chair or member of several Board committees over the course of his term. Trustee Miller has been a champion of Catholic education generally and one of the strongest supporters of our Catholic secondary school in Huron County (St. Anne’s CSS, Clinton). Consistent with the tradition of Catholic trustees in Huron-Perth, Mike has been active and deeply involved in the life of the Church especially at St. Peter’s in St. Joseph. Trustee Miller’s humble, balanced, thoughtful, pragmatic and positive leadership has been of incalculable value to the system over the years. While Trustee Miller’s next phase of the journey will allow for more time with family (in particular his grandchildren), he will be deeply missed by the Board, its staff, parents and students. May the love of God, the peace of Christ and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with Mike and his family now and always.
