A Warm Welcome to Our New Principal

Dear SPC School Families and Parish Community,

I hope this message finds you well and that you all had a wonderful Easter. It is with great joy and gratitude that I share some exciting news regarding the leadership of our beloved school.

After a thorough and prayerful search process, I am pleased to announce that Mr. Jim White has been selected as the new Principal of St. Paul of the Cross School, effective July 1, 2025.

Mr. White brings more than 30 years of experience in education, including over 20 years as a school principal and 18 years serving in Catholic schools. Throughout the search process, it became abundantly clear that he not only possesses the professional qualifications we were seeking but also shares our strong dedication to the mission and values that define St. Paul of the Cross School.

We are confident that his leadership will build on the strong foundation already in place and guide our school into a vibrant future.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the members of the search committee, faculty, staff, parents, and school board who participated in this important process. Your input, insights, and discernment played a vital role in helping us arrive at this outcome. Additionally, I would like to again thank Dr. Erika Mickelburgh for her seven years of outstanding leadership and service to our SPC school community. Her commitment has made a lasting impact and we are truly grateful.

Please join me in warmly welcoming Mr. White to our school and parish community. We look forward to his leadership and to all that God has in store for the future of St. Paul of the Cross School.

May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and bless our parish and school community.

In Christ,

Fr. James Wallace

Pastor, St. Paul of the Cross Church
