Father George Announces New School Principal
Posted by admin on Monday, June 30 |
Holy Redeemer Church
4902 Berwyn Road
College Park, MD 20740
Dear Members of the Holy Redeemer Community,
I am extremely pleased to announce that Mrs. Maria Bovich has agreed to become the principal of Holy Redeemer School, effective July 1, 2008. I am indebted to the talented, six-member Search Committee (Sean Ballantine, Brenda Cooley, Rick Harmon, Barbara Murphy, Ginger Thompson, and Bob Wassmann) who have worked diligently since May 9 when we first learned that our former principal Mrs Michelle Jones had accepted a position closer to her home in the Baltimore Archdiocese. The Search Committee first met with Ms. Liz Whelan of the Superintendent’s office to review the hiring guidelines of the Catholic Schools Office. Then after seeking input from the Holy Redeemer School staff, it identified qualities it would like to see in a principal. The Committee reviewed the applications of many talented individuals who expressed interest in the position. Of these, five candidates were invited to interview during Round 1 of interviews. Several were then selected to continue to Round 2 with the Committee. As a unanimous choice of the Search Committee, Mrs. Bovich was invited to continue to the Round 3 interview with the Dr. Patricia Weitzel-O’Neill, Superintendent of Schools; Mrs. Liz Whelan, Director of Professional Development; Bob Wassmann, the Chair of the Search Committee; and myself. Following that interview, I immediately offered Mrs. Bovich the position and she accepted.
Mrs. Bovich brings to Holy Redeemer a wide array of experience and skills in school administration, management, and instructional leadership. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Education and a Masters of Arts degree in Educational Administration. She served most recently as Vice Principal of St. Pius X Regional School in Bowie, Maryland, a position she has held since July, 2002. At St. Pius, Mrs. Bovich oversaw the operation of the middle school which consisted of 315 students and 15 teachers while creating a learning environment that in the words of her principal, “supported our shared vision of creating a learning community that exemplifies cooperation, intellectual growth, and Catholic values.” He also described her as a “knowledgeable, faith-filled individual who has a history of success in Catholic education.”
Prior to her service at St. Pius, Mrs. Bovich was a Vice Principal in the Prince George’s County Public School System serving also as a Special Education Director, Instructional Council Chairperson, and School Leadership Member. Mrs. Bovich is very proud of her work in special education serving as a Sign Language Instructor, Vice Principal at the Joseph P. Kennedy Institute in Washington D.C. and as a Work Adjustment/Job Placement Coordinator there.
I am very pleased that Holy Redeemer has been able to hire such a talented, inspiring leader who will continue the excellent educational program that we have here. I’m sure you will join me in congratulating and welcoming Mrs. Bovich to the Holy Redeemer community.
May God bless you and all those you love,
Fr. George
