The Palliser School Division is pleased to announce that Michael Rosentreter has accepted the role of Principal at Barons School, commencing August 25, 2025.
A dedicated and passionate leader with excellent communication skills, Michael’s professional focus is centred around building positive relationships to promote a safe and caring environment for students.
Michael joined the Palliser School Division in September 2023, and has been Principal with Vulcan Prairieview Elementary School since. Previously, Michael hailed from Wild Rose School Division and served as the Principal at Drayton Valley Community Outreach School since 2018. He has been teaching since 2005 and transitioned into leadership in 2013.
He received his Bachelor of Education in 2003 and later, a Masters in Educational Leadership in 2020, both from the University of Lethbridge.
As a leader, Michael notes, “Relationships are critical in education. Students are much more likely to respond to a teacher, adult or peer if they have a positive relationship with them. Schools that strive to build positive relationships and promote a safe caring environment perform well.”
Married with two teenage children, Michael and his wife Lisa (also a teacher with the division) enjoy spending quality time with the family, doing ‘whatever his children are into’ whether it’s hockey or the outdoors. Michael is very excited to be joining Barons School and community.
Congratulations Michael!
