Dear Star of the Sea School families, I hope your summer is going well and enjoying good quality time as a family by praying, playing, and persevering! As you have received the unfortunate news for us of Mrs. Carter-Waid accepting a new position at St. Hugo School, please be assured that the process has begun to find our next principal and leader of our school. We have already been in contact the Catholic Schools office of the Archdiocese and are forming a committee for the selection of the best person possible for our school. I am confident that our wonderful, professional, dedicated faculty and staff will join together to make a good start of our school year. Our faculty and staff has always pulled together and focused on the spiritual and academic good of our students. They have also taken on additional responsibilities when needed for the good of all. A big thank you to Mrs. Carter-Waid for her three years of leadership and we wish her well in her new position. Please continue to pray during this time of transition, asking the Holy Spirit to assist us in this transition and raise up good and exceptional candidates in our search. Msgr. Gary Smetanka Pastor msgr.smetanka@stargp.org 313-884-5554 ext. 2011
