My name is Charlene (Wiseman) Bearhead and I’ve just moved back to Drayton Valley, where I was born, raised and educated, after almost 40 years away. I started my career teaching in Entwistle and have spent the last 40 years fully dedicated to education as a teacher, principal, education director and education advocate.
I’ve had the privilege of serving in various schools and school divisions in multiple capacities as well as on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, Canadian Museum for Human Rights, National Inquiry in to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, National Film Board and more as education director, coordinator or advisor for various initiatives. I’m committed to sharing my experience, learning and opportunities with the children of Wild Rose School Division. Children and education have always been at the centre of my career and my life- including my 6 children and 8+ grandchildren.
I look forward to giving back in service to the children, families and communities here at home after a long absence in service to other communities across the country. I hope to contribute to the best education possible for the students attending Wild Rose schools and to support them in ways that contribute to their personal successes as they define that success.

Rocky Christian School (K-9)

Pioneer Middle School (6-8)

My name is Heidi Hetherington and I am the Trustee for Ward 5 of WRSD. I have lived in the Rocky Mountain House community since 2000 and graduated from West Central High School in 2006.

Being a part of this community for the past 21 years motivated me to act as a representative of my community. I have served on the board of Trustees for Wild Rose School Division since 2015 and have become a strong voice for education. Being a trustee is an important role, and one that I find very rewarding. My children played a large role in why I decided to become involved with the Board. Being a trustee has given me invaluable insight into the education system. I plan on working with my fellow trustees to see Wild Rose School Division continue their work of creating powerful learning environments which allow our students to reach their full potential, regardless of their circumstances. As we like to say, Improving Life Chances for All Students.

I bring a unique perspective to the board, having graduated from a WRSD high school, as well as having two young children who attend schools within the division.
When I am not busy with school division business, I spend my time gardening, weightlifting, reading or working on my latest cross stitch or knitting project.
