In my years as principal it has been my pleasure to see great changes occur within Saint Andrew School. Successful marketing, along with the addition of Pre-school, full day Kindergarten and C.A.R.E.S., has led to an increase in enrollment of almost one hundred students. Fundraising efforts as well as critical scheduling of employees have eased the parish subsidy by a substantial percentage. Little turnover among the faculty gives stability to the population and our experienced staff has allowed us to be named a demonstration school for the archdiocese in the areas of K-12 curriculum, ILA and technology. Most importantly, Catholic tradition is the hallmark of our school.
Visitors comment on the care and concern that exists among the community members.
Instruction in the faith permeates all that we do and the formational activities of the students prepare them to take their rightful place in the Church of tomorrow. Your children have brought me tremendous joy over these fifteen years. As a classroom teacher, vice-principal then principal, I have had the marvelous opportunity of interacting with them daily and watching them develop into fine persons. Their smiles, hugs and kind words have shown me a lot about God's unconditional love. Even after a difference that required disciplinary action, the students here have been able to move on and get back to the business of building the Kingdom.
