The Position

Reporting to the Diocesan Superintendent, the Principal will serve as the school’s spiritual and educational leader and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in implementing a broad array of programs and functions. These responsibilities encompass spiritual development, realizing the school’s mission, charism, philosophy, curriculum, co-curricular activities, discipline, and personnel practices. The Principal collaborates with various stakeholders, including the Superintendent, to oversee school facilities, marketing, and community relations.

In addition, candidates will have outstanding communication and interpersonal skills, the prudence to delegate appropriately, and the will to hold the administrative team, faculty, and staff accountable to shared goals and desired outcomes.

The next Principal is expected to bring the energy, charisma, vision, and courageous leadership skills necessary for this school community to successfully deliver its respected Catholic college preparatory education.
