Joan Carr, the superintendent of Edmonton Catholic Schools for more than a decade, died Sunday afternoon of cancer. "Joan put students at the centre of every decision we made," Laura Thibert, chair of Edmonton Catholic Schools board of trustees, said in a news release Sunday. Carr held the district's top job for 14 years and was a teacher and principal for 30 years before that. She had worked as an assistant superintendent before taking the job of superintendent in 2006. Flags will be lowered to half-mast at the school board until sunset on the day of her funeral.
