New Principal Announced

     It is with great excitement that the Principal Search Committee at St. Helen School announces our selection of the new Principal for school year 2013-2014.   After interviewing several highly qualified candidates, we are delighted to announce that Ms. Christine Buschur will take over the leadership of our school in July of this year. 

     As many of you know, she is a highly qualified, experienced teacher having served in the Archdiocese for 13 years, the past seven of these at our school.  Over the years, her leadership skills have been enhanced through the many projects she has been a part of at the local and archdiocesan levels.  Her commitment to academic excellence and ensuring our school is Catholic to the Core was evident throughout the interview sessions.   

     During the selection process, Ms. Buschur shared several of her ideas to lead St. Helen into a stronger future.  She will focus on promoting a strong Catholic identity, supporting and encouraging staff to grow, and fostering teamwork and collaboration to share resources and promote ideas.  Technology and evidenced-based Best Practices for academic excellence, marketing, and community relationship building, improving our overall image to attract new students, and communicating with the school and parish communities are also priorities.  The selection committee was inspired by the passion that Ms. Buschur has for Catholic education and believe the vision she has for the future of St. Helen School will ensure our success as an exceptional Catholic elementary school.
