History

George McKee is the third Superintendent of Edmonton Public Schools. McKee was appointed in 1924. He remained in this capacity for 17 years until his retirement in 1940. Periods of stability, depression and financial cutbacks were experienced during his tenure.

In his first year as Superintendent, McKee participated in opening ceremonies for three new schools: Garneau, Riverdale and Frank Scott (later renamed Eastwood). McKee was well liked by the teachers and remarkably few teachers resigned or left the Division during his time as Superintendent.
