We’re excited to share some wonderful news—Mrs. Kelli Zielinski is stepping into the role of principal at St. Patrick’s School! Many of you already know Mrs. Zielinski from her time here as a teacher leader, and with nineteen years in the classroom, she brings a wealth of experience, a big heart for our students, and a deep love for faith-based education. She also holds a Master of Educational Administration from Grand Canyon University, giving her both the teaching and leadership skills to guide our school community.
Mrs. Zielinski is passionate about helping our students grow as disciples of Jesus, building strong connections with families, and continuing our tradition of academic excellence. After teaching in both public and Catholic schools, she treasures the unique way Catholic education nurtures not only the mind, but also the heart and soul. “As principal, every decision I make begins with one question: ‘What will help our students learn, grow, and feel cared for?’” she says. “Our students are the reason we’re here, and my goal is to help each one become the very best version of themselves.”
Here’s to an exciting year ahead—welcome, Mrs. Zielinski!
