Immaculate Conception School in Watertown, SD seeks a talented, faithful, and dynamic individual to serve as its principal beginning in the 2022-2023 academic year. This is an excellent opportunity to expand on the school’s recent efforts to create an endowment to support teacher salaries and its recent recognition as a National Blue Ribbon School.
Immaculate Conception School offers a Junior Kindergarten through 6th grade in a single section model. It serves 185 students. The school is vital to the evangelizing mission of Immaculate Conception and Holy Name of Jesus Parishes. It strives to provide an education that is authentically Catholic: a formation of the whole person in the light of Jesus Christ. The school stands at a graced moment in its history with a unique opportunity to grow its student enrollment and expand its grade offering.
Therefore, Immaculate Conception School seeks an individual who will successfully cultivate a joyful, Catholic culture supporting families in the formation of their children’s holiness, virtue, and habitual use of reason. However, “(t)he project of the Catholic school is convincing only if carried out by people who are deeply motivated, because they witness to a living encounter with Christ” (Cong. for Catholic Education, 1997).
