Description
St. Marianne School and St. Mariana de Paredes Parish have served the community for almost 75 years. We are a TK-8 school whose mission is to provide a faith-filled and caring environment in which our professional skills, personal talents, and the example of our lives will enable our students to grow in the following ways: spiritually, intellectually, socially, psychologically, physically, technologically, ecologically, and culturally. Within this environment, our mission will be to encourage the students to become confident, committed, self-disciplined, life-long developing Christians whose responsible participation in society will reflect their reverence for all life.
We are currently seeking a school principal who is a faith-filled leader who clearly embodies the expectations of the Church and of the pastor, and who is committed to strengthening the unity between parish and school. The mission and expectations that defines our Catholic school is that Saint Marianne School exists because of the parish, not alongside it. The school is an essential part of the parish’s evangelizing mission, and the two are inseparable. Our identity as a Catholic school must be lived intentionally, visibly, and consistently across all aspects of school life.
The legacy entrusted to us by the School Sisters of Notre Dame and the lay principals who followed is one rooted in faith, reverence, and unity with the Church. At its heart, Catholic education forms young disciples of Jesus Christ. Academic excellence is important, but it is never our ultimate purpose. Our ultimate purpose is academic excellence and to lead students to Christ teaching them, by word and example, that the Holy Eucharist and Sunday Mass are central to Catholic life.
