Dear St. Anthony School Community Member,

I am writing to you today to inform you of my decision to retire at the end of this school year. This year marks my 27th year as a Catholic school principal, my 30th as a Catholic educator. It has been an honor and privilege to serve this community since I began in July 2013.

My foundational educational philosophy has always been a child-centered family sensitive approach with Jesus Christ as my teaching model. Selfless, sacrificial love evidenced by kindness and concern for each child and their family in our school. Partnering with our faculty, staff, and families, I feel comfortable in saying, together we have done a great job in providing a great, well-rounded education for our students.

I informed our pastor, Father Tom, early so that the parish can get a jump start on the process of hiring the next principal. I care deeply about our school and will pray for the successful search process which Fr. Tom will initiate in the coming weeks.

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas!

Deacon Michael,

Principal
