On behalf of the Board of Directors, Saint Joseph Academy is pleased to announce that Mrs. Kathryn Purcell will be the Academy's next president. Mrs. Purcell is more than familiar with strong leadership in an all-girls educational environment. She joins Saint Joseph Academy after a 24-year tenure at Laurel School, most recently as the Associate Head of School. Previously, Mrs. Purcell served in various leadership, administrative, teaching and coaching positions.
Mary Ann Corrigan-Davis remains as president through the remainder of the school year. She and Kathryn Purcell will have time to work together over the next few months to ensure a smooth transition. Kathryn is starting to integrate into our community and we look forward to getting to know her and helping her transition.
Saint Joseph Academy's Board of Directors and the Search Committee thank everyone for their support and contribution to this process.
