Welcome to St. James

  Fishing with Kearney Catholic

I am excited to have accepted the Kearney Catholic Jr./Sr. High School Principal position for the 2020-2021 school year.

It is a blessing to partner with the families of St. James and Prince of Peace parishes as we strive to prepare students who are strong in their faith, who are prepared academically, and who are community ready.

We are fortunate that, under Mr. Torson’s leadership, the school is thriving. While enrollment at Catholic schools in the area and across the nation is on the decline, KCHS enrollment has grown and been sustained near its record high. Moving forward, we have a great opportunity to capitalize on our current foundation and success. My focus will be aligned with our mission statement. This will consist of examining and expanding upon, when appropriate, the areas of academic offerings and rigor, faith formation of our students, and opportunities to engage students in service to the Church and community.

I look forward to serving as the KCHS Principal. I am excited to work with the Catholic Community of Kearney as we take on challenges, embrace opportunities, and celebrate successes. Thank you for your support in shaping the lives of the young men and women that we are so fortunate to serve at Kearney Catholic.
