Recent Graduate Named K-8 School Principal

Just three years after her graduation from Thomas Aquinas College, Grace Kelly (’12) has been named a parochial-school principal in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
A story in the Santa Paula Times reports on Miss Kelly’s new career, which began as a first-grade teacher at Our Lady of Guadalupe School in Oxnard. While teaching, she earned a master’s degree in education at Grand Canyon University and underwent training in the Archdiocese’ Catholic Aspiring Principals Program. “I loved my days of teaching,” she tells the Times, “but all that time I felt a pull that there was something more to do.” Encouraged by her own principal and mentor — fellow alumna Brenna (Scanlon ’06) Chapin — she applied for, and received, the position at St. Sebastian School in Santa Paula.
Miss Kelly is now responsible for some 150 students and nine teachers at the K-8 school just blocks from her childhood home. Please pray for her as the school begins its new year!
