May 12, 2022Located just a mile from the Atlantic Ocean, St. Rose Parish, St. Rose Grammar School and St. Rose High School have been blessed with continued and sustained growth. We are an active and dynamic community influenced by our Catholic identity, our location, and our commitment to academic excellence. Our Grammar School recently celebrated its Centennial Anniversary and our High School is set to do the same in 2023. With this in mind, we are looking for an individual who will share our enthusiasm for success as we educate the whole student: body, mind, and spirit.
St. Rose High School, with an enrollment of approximately 400 students, provides a Catholic education based upon Gospel values and academic excellence. Founded by the Parish community of St. Rose Church and nurtured by the charism of the Sisters of St. Joseph, a St. Rose education instills a spirit of unity with God and others while preparing our students to be disciples of Christ and leaders of tomorrow.
St. Rose is in the beginning stages of restructuring our schools, and we are looking for a capable administrator who will implement the strategic plan of uniting our two schools into a single campus collaboration. This will entail coordination with the Grammar School and the Parish to develop this new model and then proceed with its implementation over the next several years.
The principal should be a practicing Catholic, who will not only lead the school in academics and administration, but champion the Catholic identity, culture, and total Catholic formation of all faculty, staff, students, and families attached to St. Rose High School.
