LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL |
Katie Benton St. Philip Catholic School Principal |
Dear St. Philip School Families,
Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! We are excited your family chose St. Philip School to provide your child(ren)’s education! The staff and I look forward to welcoming our students back and continuing to work with you to build upon the high-quality academic foundation that you’ve come to expect from us.
The previous school year was like none other we have ever experienced. I was extremely proud of our students and staff as they took all of the new guidelines and restrictions that were given to us in stride and made the most of a very unusual year. Although our gatherings were limited based on state and local guidelines, we were able to put together modified versions of important events that still enabled us to celebrate special milestones. Now we look forward to returning to what hopefully will be a more normal school year.
This year’s diocesan theme is “Catholic Schools: Saints in the Making.” As we work to develop our saints, we will be shepherded by our own school theme. We chose “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.” (Proverbs 16:3) as our guiding scripture for the school year. Even the best laid plans don’t always turn out the way we had hoped, but when we put God in charge and entrust our actions to Him we know we will succeed.
We are excited to begin the 2021-2022 school year and hope you are looking forward to a great year too!
Yours in Christ,
Katie Benton
Principal
