Wembley Elementary School is welcoming Theresa Simmonds as temporary principal for the 2025-26 school year.
Simmonds began her career as a Peace Country teacher at Wembley Elementary before moving to Bonanza School in 2009, eventually becoming principal- a position she has held for the past eight years.
She says her time at Bonanza School has been “very fulfilling,” and that she will miss the students, staff, and community; however, she maintains that she is quite excited about her new adventure in Wembley, especially with her ties to the school, established early in her career.
“I am looking forward to building relationships with new staff, students, parents, and community members,” she says. ” I was raised on a farm outside the town of Wembley, and began my education career at Wembley Elementary School, so I am happy to be back in a different capacity.”
Simmonds will begin her new role as Principal of Wembley Elementary School in the fall.
