Special Announcement from Msgr. Zak

New Principal for Incarnation School

I am pleased to announce that after a thorough review process of prospective candidates for Principal of Incarnation School, and following interviews with those applicants deemed most suitable for the position, Mrs. Diana Girskis has been selected as our new Principal.  Having taught at Incarnation School for the past eleven years, and having served as Vice-Principal for the last four years, Mrs. Girskis needs no introduction.  Apart from her professional qualifications, which include a Master of Arts degree in Elementary Education, a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from the State of California and more than twenty years of experience in education, Mrs. Girskis’ intimate knowledge of our school will help her as she works with teachers, students and parents to further the Incarnation tradition of faith formation and academic excellence in an atmosphere of cooperation, respect and discipline.

I am most grateful to the Search Committee that provided invaluable assistance in the selection process, and I look forward to working with Mrs. Girskis next year as she takes on her new role in our school.  Please join me in welcoming our new principal, and let us all pledge our mutual support to work together for the good of our children, our school and our community!
