Boyko re-elected as Board Chair

On Monday, November 2, 2026, Greater Saskatoon Catholic School’s Board of Education trustees held their annual Organizational Meeting, at which the board selects a chair, vice-chair, and trustees to represent the board on a variety of committees.

Diane Boyko was re-elected as chair, and Tim Jelinski was re-elected to serve as vice-chair.

“It is an honour and a joy to serve with you, my fellow trustees” said Diane Boyko, chair of Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools’ Board of Education. “We’re in a unique position to be able to work together serving students, families, staff and the Catholic community for the greater glory of God.”

At the meeting, Rev. Stefano Penna, the bishop’s delegate for the board from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon, led a commissioning service for trustees asking for God’s blessings, guidance and wisdom to be upon them. Rev. Penna gave a short reflection on Catholic education and trustees as messengers and disciples of Christ who are called and chosen by God to use their gifts to invite others to experience God’s love. He reflected on a long line of trustees, staff, and clergy who, led by the presence of the Holy Spirit, have laid a strong foundation for Catholic education in Saskatoon and area.

With 50 schools and over 23,000 students, Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools is Saskatchewan’s largest Catholic school division, providing Catholic faith-based education from pre-kindergarten through Grade 12 in Saskatoon and area, Biggar, Humboldt, Martensville and Warman. We are rooted in faith, growing in knowledge and reaching out to transform the world.

The Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools' Board of Education consists of 10 elected trustees. Seven at-large trustees represent Saskatoon, and one trustee represents each of our three subdivisions: rural areas around Saskatoon, including Martensville and Warman (Subdivision 1); Humboldt (Subdivision 2); and Biggar (Subdivision 3).
