To our Parents, Faculty, Parishioners, Alumni, Benefactors, and Friends:
Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
It is with great joy that I take this opportunity to announce the new principal of St. Benilde Catholic School for the 2018-2019 school year. Because our parochial school is the largest ministry of St. Benilde Parish, every effort has been made to select a principal who is not only qualified to lead as an educator and administrator but, more importantly, one who manifests a deep, personal faith, who has a fervent love for the Church and Her teachings, and who expresses a sincere commitment to the children entrusted to his care.
After much prayer and careful discernment, in collaboration and consultation with the members of the Search Committee and the Office of Catholic Schools for the Archdiocese of New Orleans, I find it pleasing to the Holy Spirit and to me to name Mr. Thomas E. Huck as the new principal of St. Benilde Catholic School. I make this announcement with a joyful heart and much gratitude to God for the numerous talents and gifts that Mr. Huck will bring to our school community. I have full confidence in Mr. Huck’s ability as an educator, administrator, formator and, most importantly, as a spiritual leader. Mr. Huck’s appointment is effective July 1, 2018.~ Rev. Robert T. Cooper, Pastor
