Dear Assumption Family,
Several weeks ago I advised you that Assumption would be
seeking a new principal. The Assumption Board of Directors initiated a search
and we were blessed with field of ten candidates. Earlier this week three
applicants were interviewed by a team of 19 stakeholders that included students,
faculty/staff members, board members, a pastor, alumni, parents, and the
Diocesan Superintendent of Schools.
We are pleased to announce the
selection of Mrs. Bridget Murphy as Principal of Assumption High School
effective immediately. Mrs. Murphy is a graduate of Assumption, St. Ambrose
University (B.S.), and the University of Idaho (M.A.T.) She received her
administrative certification from the University of Iowa. Mrs. Murphy and her
husband, Kevin, have six children and are members of St. Paul the Apostle
parish.
Mrs. Murphy has been an upper level mathematics teacher at Assumption
for the past 11 years, also teaching college courses for Scott Community
College at the high school. Between
2003-2009 she coached the St. Ambrose women’s softball team. She currently serves on the board of the
Women’s Choice Center.
Mrs. Murphy brings many gifts to her new position, including
her deep faith and her years of experience as a highly successful teacher. She
is prepared to continue the tradition of excellence that Assumption is known
for. We feel fortunate that she has agreed to serve as our principal.
Sincerely,
Andy Craig Nancy Hines
President President
