A message from Dr. Romero
Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! I am very blessed to be joining the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School family. The strong sense of community, pride, faith, love, and zeal has been evident in my interactions with each of you and with your children. It brings me great joy to welcome the students each morning and see their smiling, and sometimes sleepy faces. We are gearing up for a fabulous school year, which we cannot accomplish without your support. We invite you to work collaboratively with us on forming our children – mind, body, and heart. I am looking forward to getting to know you and your children better throughout this school year. Thank you for your continued support and partnership.
