My personal and professional lives are firmly entrenched in the West End and provide me with a relevant perspective concerning the needs of our community and educational system. My passion for education and NDG/Montreal West is deeply rooted in my life experience. Generations of the Lalla family have chosen to make this area their home, and it is where I have spent most of my life. It’s where I grew up, put down roots, raised a family and devoted my entire career to education; beginning as a teacher, then as an Elementary and High School Principal, and presently as School Commissioner. While my sons attended elementary school, I also gained valuable perspective as a parent; active on many Parent Committees (now Governing Boards) including serving as President of the Central Parents’ Committee. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree from Loyola College (now Concordia), a teaching degree from McGill University, and a post-graduate Diploma in School Administration from Concordia University. COMMUNITY AND PROFESSIONAL INVOLVEMENT I am a volunteer member of the Town of Montreal West Traffic and Safety Committee. An avid gardener, I am also a member of the Montreal West Horticultural Society. I am a current member of the Quebec English School Boards Association and past member of the Association of Administrators of English Schools of Quebec, the Canadian Association of Principals, the National Association of Elementary School Principals and the National Association of Secondary School Principals. © Copyright 2018 Joseph Lalla, All rights reserved.
