IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE PASTOR...Ms. Mary Elizabeth Muir leaving as Principal...Father Carroll appoints Mrs. Kathleen Smith interim principal


Saint Patrick School Staff Changes

It is with a mixture of emotions that today I announce that Ms. Mary Elizabeth Muir will be leaving as principal of St. Patrick School.  Ms. Muir has accepted a position as Chief Academic Officer with the Independence Mission Schools a non-profit organization in the Philadelphia area whose mission “is to provide sustainable, affordable, high-quality Catholic education to children of all faiths in underserved urban neighborhoods, through a new model of governance, funding, and accountability for the member schools.”   While I am sad to lose Ms. Muir as our principal, at the same time I am happy that she has been given this opportunity.  Publically I want to thank her for her commitment to Saint Patrick School but more importantly thank her for her commitment overall to Catholic Education.  Ms. Muir’s last day will be Thursday July 31st.

With Ms. Muir’s departure I have appointed Mrs. Kathleen Smith as interim principal of Saint Patrick School for the 2014/2015 school year.  Mrs. Smith has been in the principal program in the diocese and has taught at our school for fourteen years.  I am grateful for Mrs. Smith’s willingness to serve as our interim principal and I am looking forward to working with her as we move into the new academic year! 

 

Sincerely,

 

Reverend Keith M. Carroll
Pastor
