Principal's Newsletter
From the Desk of Ms. Clark
January 31, 2019
Dear Parents,
As we celebrate another Catholic Schools Week, we are reminded that Saint Katharine Drexel Catholic School is not just a school. We are a family. Our students, teachers, and parents are motivated, dedicated, and devoted to each other. We are a Catholic School with a vision of what it means to follow Jesus and the teachings of His church. We are a powerful place that inspires hope in a world sadly depleted of hope. We are a place where we teach that with God, all things are possible when we trust in His power and strength.
At the close of this year’s celebration, on behalf of Monsignor Marine, Father Mike, our faculty, our staff, and our students, I thank you for helping make our week a success and for all you have done and continue to do in order to aid us in our mission
God’s blessings,
Ms. Clark
