Joining us this year, Danny Viotto brings a wealth of experience to the CDS community as the new Director of Senior School. Having led the Huron Superior Catholic District School Board as the Director of Education for the past several years, Danny also served as an Academic Superintendent, an Elementary Principal and a Senior School Principal with HSCDSB for almost 15 years.

He believes strongly that as educators we are called to develop the full potential of every child. In between his roles at HSCDSB, Danny spent two years as School Principal at De La Salle College, an independent school in Toronto, where he worked closely alongside the school's President, staff, students and parents - listening to the voices of all constituents so to best prioritize De La Salle's needs and create intentional, strategic directions. Danny holds a B.A. in English and a B.Ed. from Lakehead University and an M.Ed. from Nipissing University and has a history of working with school teams to nurture a community of belonging that supports self-expression and fulfilment.

He believes strongly that music, drama, art and athletics help develop well-rounded citizens and future leaders. Danny relocated to York Region from Sault Ste. Marie last summer and has fully immersed himself into the awesome community at the Country Day School.
