Here at St. Al&#8217;s, I truly valued that role and enjoyed contributing to the success of this special program. I&#8217;m answering the call back into administration near my home. Please know, it has been a blessing to work with so many wonderful students, parents and faculty. I wish all of the St. Alphonsus families and school the very best in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I will be posting her position before the end of the week.\u00a0 If you know someone who may be interested feel free to direct them to the Office for Catholic Schools employment page.<\/p>\n<p>May God bless and keep all of you.\u00a0 Thank you for being a part of our community and thank you for
