Dear St. Rose Families and Friends,
It is with great joy and gratitude that I welcome you to St. Rose of Lima School. As the new principal, I am blessed to serve in a community where faith, academic excellence, and a spirit of service are at the heart of all we do. Rooted in the truth of the Gospel and guided by our Catholic tradition, we strive to form young people who not only excel academically but who also grow as compassionate, faith-filled disciples of Christ.
With over two decades in education, both in the classroom and in leadership, I have witnessed the transformative power of a learning environment where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to reach their fullest potential. Here at St. Rose, we partner with parents as the primary educators of their children, building a foundation of faith and virtue that will serve our students for a lifetime.
Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to inspiring curiosity, cultivating critical thinking, and nurturing the God-given gifts of every student. We believe in educating the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—through rigorous academics, vibrant faith formation, and opportunities for service and leadership.
At St. Rose of Lima School, we are more than a school; we are a family. Together, we will continue to honor tradition while preparing our students to be the next generation of Catholic leaders who will make a difference in the world.
In Christ,
Dr. Deirdre M. Rood
Principal
St. Rose of Lima School
