SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
FROM FATHER UNDERWOOD
Please join me in welcoming Mrs. Erin Kinsella to the St. Michael Catholic School family as our new school Principal.
Mrs. Kinsella is a life-long Catholic who grew up attending St. Joseph School in Nashville, TN, and counts it a blessing to have focused on faith, academic excellence, and service. She received a B.A. from Georgetown College in Kentucky, a Master of Elementary Education from Northern Kentucky University, and School Administration certification and licensure from Indiana Wesleyan University.
With a combined 15 years of teaching and administration experience, Mrs. Kinsella brings a wealth of knowledge and a loving heart to serve our children well. Her experience includes Lead Special Education Specialist and District Reading Specialist for Indianapolis Public Schools, as well as Assistant Principal at Taylor Elementary School in Kokomo.
Mrs. Kinsella is married to Dr. Chad Kinsella, Associate Professor of Political Science at Ball State University. They have four children, Sophia, Finn, Alexander, and Catherine.
She has expressed her excitement “for this opportunity to be a servant leader among dedicated educators invested in Catholic identity and a Christ-Centered education.” Her goals include fostering a positive learning environment for our students in collaboration with leadership, educators, and parents.
I am confident in Mrs. Kinsella’s leadership – along with our dedicated teachers, staff, and school families we can foster a faithful, caring, and loving environment at St. Michael Catholic School.
