York Region District School Board, near Toronto, has transformed, from its earlier, narrow, internal focus to its now robust, continually evolving and sophisticated organization, in the 16 years Dr. Bill Hogarth served as Director of Education. Dr. Hogarth has been successful in advocating not only for York Region students, but for public education as a cornerstone of all healthy communities. 
 
Over the years his passion for student success was equalled only by the drive to seek new alternatives and innovative partnerships that improve the experience of student learning and the evolutionary nature of education. Due to breakthrough thinking, ideas and programs were sought after extensively throughout Canada and beyond, bringing a breath of experience acquired from educational systems throughout the world.
 
Dr. Hogarth received an honourary degree from York University. He was Chair of Seneca College and sits on the Boards of Uniniversity of Guelph and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. He has been involved with Deep Learning throughout its development and implementation.
