A Message from the Principal
May 26, 2021
Dear Holy Family Catholic School Community,
It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is our last day of school – thank you for all of your support this year!
I have a few 2021-2022 staffing shifts that I am excited to share with you: Mrs. Brenda Conway will return to campus next year as our 4th grade homeroom teacher, and Ms. Brittany Grady will teach 5th-8th grade Science.
I am already looking forward to next year, stay tuned for more information about our Back-to-School Bash and Fall Fest!
Have a safe and happy summer!
Blessings,
Ann Walters
Principal
