Experienced Governor & Committed to Serve
With a passion for publicly funded Catholic education, a firm belief in our youth, and a tenacity to fight for the underdog, I hope to continue to bring value for another term to the board table by advocating for kids and ensuring accountability to all stakeholders through authentic relationship.
Trusteeship - What is it?
Trusteeship - What is it?
Trustees are decision makers, from the overall budget of the district, to programming and strategic planning.
We represent the electorate to make policies that shape our schools to support what is best for the development of the whole student.
As governors, we do not delve into operations but expect our one employee, the Chief Superintendent, to provide reports to ensure that our priorities are met through defined role expectations and quality indicators.
As advocates for education, we work with local MLA's and the Minister of Education to protect our constitutional right to provide Catholic education to Alberta students.

Governance can be learned but the skills that it takes to be a really good governor come from a strong desire to want to make a difference. My decisions are alway made in the best interest of all students and through the lens of our faith. An inclusive, safe space to learn is fundamental in my belief to grow resilient children.
It takes three years to really understand the role of a governor in a district of 56,000 students. I owe it to the board, to stakeholders, but more importantly, to the students that I have the great blessing to represent, to continue this journey for another term.

Saint Francis High School is so blessed to have Pam as our trustee. She is passionate about Catholic education and her focus is always on what is best for the students.
I’ve served on several school councils in the past and this is the first time I’ve experienced having such a close working relationship with a school trustee.
I have learned a lot about broader issues outside of our school because of Pam’s knowledge and insight.
We regularly invite her to our school council meetings and she keeps us well informed on what is going on in the district as well as with education in Alberta.

Pamela Rath is a champion for all kids, but especially for those that can’t afford extra-curricular programming.
She is always ready to listen but more importantly leads when it comes to doing the work needed to get things done !

I have had the opportunity to work with Pam Rath in St Vincent de Paul activities for the last six years. She is the president for Corpus Christi parish and later the president of the North Particular Council (which encompasses eight parishes in north Calgary). Pam has great leadership skills, loads of energy, a positive cheerful attitude, and a deep passion for serving the poor and helping school kids. We are very fortunate to have someone of her caliber running to be a Catholic School Trustee.
