Sister Patricia's

Principal's Page

     Welcome to my Principal's page! As you will notice by my green background, I am Irish and proud of it. I am a huge Notre Dame football fan (Go Irish!), thus the gold buttons on my pages. I have the best job in the world because ever since I was in 7th grade I always wanted to be a teacher. Now that I am a principal it is a little different, but I am glad I still am able to be around children and help them grow closer to Jesus. When I have free time the things I like are: being with my family, reading, going to the beach, watching Notre Dame football, cutting the grass, planting flowers, and playing with my dog, Bailey. On occasion, I can be found playing Pac Man, Zuma and a few other computer games - some are even educational! I also like playing the Wii and my favorite game is Mario Cart - I am always up for a challenge to take someone on! One of my favorite events during the year is going on vacation with my 8 nieces and 2 nephews. I love hanging out with them and finding out what is going on in their lives. Their ages range from a sophomore in college to first grade so there is always something new and exciting going on with them!

     Over the years I have compiled my "Bucket List." I have had  wonderful opportunities to complete some of these adventures. Here are a few of them: skydiving, swimming with dolphins, riding in a hotair balloon, seeing a Notre Dame football game in South Bend, competing in marathons, half-marathons and triathalons, and parasailing. (The picture above is from the Shamrock 8K this past March. The event was held in Virigina Beach, VA- does is get any better than that - running alongside the beach?) My list never seems to diminish because I am always adding to it - it is fun to have a list - give it a try!

     I hope this website provides resources for the reader as well as a glimpse into some of the topics and issues I think are important in Catholic education. I would also like you to meet Bailey, my trained Therapy Dog. She services hospital and nursing home patients,  teachers and students. All important current issues will be discussed under the "Hot Topics" page - check it out! Changes to the pages will occur on a regular basis.
