Meet Kyle Kotelniski – Division Electrician

For the past 11 months, Kyle Kotelniski has been working behind the scenes to keep Evergreen’s schools running safely and smoothly. As the division’s electrician, his days are never the same — from wiring major projects to helping with cleanup after unexpected damages, Kyle’s role touches nearly every corner of the division.

His path into education was shaped by opportunity. “I was drawn to the chance to work in different buildings daily and to learn how the education system operates on all levels,” Kyle explains. It didn’t take long for him to see the impact of his work.

Kyle’s responsibilities extend far beyond electrical tasks. “As an electrician, I still do more than just electrical,” he says. “Whether it’s moving furniture, helping with a cleanup, or fulfilling requests from teachers and principals, I do what’s needed to keep things running smoothly.”

One highlight for Kyle was helping transform the Arborg Collegiate library into a foods and nutrition classroom. “It’s great to be part of a project, watching it all come together and then seeing the students enjoy learning in the completed space,” he says.

What Kyle loves most about Evergreen is the variety. “There’s always something different each day — whether it’s fixing small items or working on big projects. That change of pace keeps the work interesting.”

He also wants the public to know how much collaboration goes into making schools run. “There are a lot of moving parts and constant communication between teachers, principals, and maintenance,” Kyle explains. “It takes a team effort to make sure requests are completed with as little disruption as possible.”

Thank you, Kyle, for your hard work, adaptability, and for helping create safe, functional learning spaces for Evergreen students.
