New Principal

At the beginning of Lent we began our search for the next principal of Holy Name School, and as we near the end of this season, I am happy to announce that we have signed a letter of intent with our new principal who will begin on July 1.

Mrs. Megan dos Santos is currently the vice principal of academic affairs at Bishop Connolly High School. During her time there, she served as the curriculum coordinator, implemented a data driven instruction initiative using MAP testing, and worked to create a program to support students with IEPs and other learning needs. She also led the Christian service program helping to better engage students in the community by putting their faith into action.

During the search process Mrs. dos Santos visited our school, met with our teachers, and also interviewed before a Principal Search Committee composed of current and former parents, teachers, and parishioners. After assessing the different candidates for the position, we were unanimous in our consensus that Mrs. dos Santos is the best candidate for the position given her skills, experience, and connection to the local community. I am confident that she will bring the leadership our school needs to further develop the quality of our academic program and community life, integrated and enlivened by our faith in Jesus Christ.

For the rest of the year Mr. Mancuso and I will continue to share the responsibilities of principal. I am very grateful for his assistance. Mrs. dos Santos will be present from time to time as well as she gets to know the Holy Name community.

Please read our letters below for more information on your new principal.

School Life Committee Meeting

The next School Life Committee meeting is on Tuesday, March 28 at 6:00 p.m. We will be discussing the upcoming walk-a-thon on Saturday, May 6. This is an important fundraiser for our school, and we hope all families will participate.

2023–2024 Yearbooks

Order your Holy Name School 2022–2023 yearbook today! Please fill out the form using the link below if you would like to order a yearbook. It is likely that we will concentrate on the 8th grade this year for some of the content since this is their last year at Holy Name School. All orders are due by Tuesday, April 25. We will distribute yearbooks at the end of the school year.

The cost of the yearbook is $25. 8th grade students will all receive a complimentary copy, so you do not have to order for them.
