Dear Catholic School Families,
Yesterday was the Feast Day of St. Therese of Lisieux, known as “The Little Flower.” St. Therese is well known for her “little way” of spirituality in which she manifested her love for God in the ordinary everyday tasks and encounters with those around her. Reflecting on St. Therese, I see a wonderful expression of her little way in how our Catholic school educators and staff bring their love for God, His children and the ministry of education to our students every day.
We all know that we have faced challenges as we have navigated life in a pandemic. Even before the current crisis, our teachers and staff were the unsung heroes of everyday life for our students and families. Now, given the strenuous efforts to provide a loving, faith-filled environment for excellent education in person and online, I invite everyone to sing the praises of our school teams in a new way.
I am excited to introduce our #SchoolHero campaign in which all are invited to nominate a school hero to be featured across our social media channels and website. This is one little way that we can acknowledge the many ways our Catholic school educators and staff are making a difference in the lives of others. I encourage you to recognize the outstanding teachers, leaders, and staff members in your school. Details to participate are noted below.
Thank you for your support of our Catholic educators and school staff!
Yours in Christ,
Jim Rigg, Ph.D.
Superintendent of Catholic Schools

We love our Catholic schools’ employees. Teachers, leaders and support staff have worked tirelessly over the summer and the start of our school year to bring exceptional in-person and remote learning to families during this unprecedented time. To recognize their fantastic work, the Office of Catholic Schools is excited to introduce the #SchoolHero program. We’ll highlight the educators and staff who have gone above and beyond in order to ensure a safe and productive learning environment through social media and the web. All school employees and families can nominate a school hero by completing a brief online form.
