Dr. Shane Andrus lives in Burstall with his lovely wife of twenty years. He is the Trustee representing Subdivision No. 1, located on the west side of the School Division. It includes the schools in the communities of Burstall, Fox Valley, Leader, Estuary Colony and Haven Colony.  Shane was first elected to the Board in 2012.  Raised on the prairies, Shane is familiar with rural life as his parents made their living mixed-farming. Those early days on the farm were formative years.
 
Education has always been a passion for Shane and his experiences in the education system come both as a student and an instructor. He possesses a Bachelor of Arts degree, Master’s degree, and Doctoral degree.  Shane has taught at Medicine Hat College and was recognized as Instructor of the Year.  Professionally he has worked for over two decades as a pastor of a rural congregation in Burstall. As well, he has worked in private practice as a Certified Professional Counsellor and General Counselling Therapist. Shane has been extensively involved in his community. As a resident of Burstall, he has organized and promoted community and regional events. This includes being Chair of the Burstall & District Fall Fair for two terms, and a Member of the local Lions Club. For hobbies he enjoys swimming, and riding a Kona trail bike. As well, he likes walking their dogs. 
 
As a School Board Member, Shane believes strongly in advocacy for students, schools and front-line staff.  He endeavors to take seriously this advocate role on behalf of the people of Subdivision #1, while balancing the needs of the entire Division.
