Scott Stinson, 59, succeeded Jim Cambridge as superintendent in 2018 and guided the district through the pandemic and a period of rapid growth
Stinson, 59, was principal of David Cameron Elementary School before becoming the Sooke district’s associate superintendent, and succeeded Jim Cambridge as superintendent in 2018.
Ravi Parmar — the lone Sooke School Board member remaining from the group that hired Stinson — said the board couldn’t have asked for a better leader to steer the district during a period that including the pandemic, extreme growth and high inflation.Stinson said dealing with COVID-19 in the district was a group effort. “Coming into it, no one ever saw three years of pandemic-related health orders and changes to school structures and remote learning and all of that,” he said.
PEXSISEN Elementary School and Centre Mountain Lellum Middle school opened in 2022 with a combined capacity for 1,200 students. “Even in the time it took to build those schools, we grew by more than the number of students that they could take,” Stinson said.
