Principal’s Message

Ms. Alexis McKean, Acting Principal

I am honoured to be stepping into the role of Acting Principal of Dunsmuir Middle School as of January 2026. As a Vice Principal for the past 3.5 years at Dunsmuir, I’ve been fortunate to work alongside our incredible students, staff, and families. I’ve come to deeply value the heart of our Dunsmuir community, our commitment to acting respectfully, being kind, creating belonging, and developing resilience. I care deeply about building strong relationships, supporting students through the challenges and joys of middle school, and creating an environment where every learner feels safe, seen, and encouraged to thrive. I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue this work in a new capacity.

I have been extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to work as a vice principal at Spencer Middle School from 2005-2008, École John Stubbs Memorial School from 2008-2011, Dunsmuir Middle School from 2012-2014, Spencer Middle School from 2015-2021, and Dunsmuir Middle School from 2021 to the current school year. I am looking forward to being at Dunsmuir in September once again to help build strong and lasting relationships with students, staff and parents. Dunsmuir is an amazing school and I look forward to many more years of being a part of this wonderful team, supporting the school values of acting respectfully, being kind, creating belonging and developing resilience.
