The Principal, together with the President, is a facilitator of the community of faith and bears the responsibility for the integration of faith and culture within St. Monica Catholic School. This responsibility demands a close working relationship with the President, the faculty, staff and students, as well as parents and the community at large.
Under the leadership of the President, the Principal is ultimately responsible for all instructional and operational programs of the school. As the Chief Operations Officer of the school, the Principal has the primary responsibility for achieving the mission of St. Monica Catholic School by maintaining and developing a school strong in Catholic identity, academic excellence, counseling and guidance services, and by providing ample programs to meet the co-curricular and extra-curricular needs of the students. The Principal oversees the coordination of the Principal’s Team who assists the Principal in executing this responsibility. The Principal reports to the President and is a member of the President’s Administrative Team.
