About The Principal

 I have a Bachelors in English,a Masters in Special Education, and 
certification in the Archdiocesan Principals Program. I initially taught for 
five years in a special education center in the public school system. After 
being home with our five children, I returned to teaching as a  substitute 
teacher and finally as a 7th-8th grade teacher at Holy Cross in Mount Airy 
for ten years before becoming principal of St. Bridget in East Falls. This 
is 
my ninth year at St. Christopher School and each year I get more and 
more excited about what we can accomplish together by having a vision for 
our children and working to achieve it. I am inspired by working with such a 
great pastor, faculty, and parents.

Our School's Goals

In conjunction with the rest of the Archdiocese and, indeed, the nation, our 
goal is to Light the Way. 

Here at SCS, this has been a year in which our Middle States self-study and 
evaluation has shown just how we do "light the way" for our students to be 
productive citizens and strong Catholics as they grow into adulthood. 

How do we prepare our students?  We look at each way that we must light for 
them so that they can find their way down that way. We need to consider the 
spiritual way, the intellectual one, the social one, as well as the personal 
one. What a challenge, right? Consider the stakes though. Let us Light the 
Way together!
