To The HCRCS Community:  
I am very pleased indeed to announce that the Board has finalized the membership of a Search Committee to find a new Principal for HCRCS. Their names are listed herein. I am delighted that these individuals have agreed to serve . Each brings so many wonderful qualities to our task. Chief among these many gifts is a deep love for the School and a determination to find the right person to take Patti's place...a daunting challenge to be sure.

In the very near future, a number of announcements concerning the position of Principal will be sent out over a wide area as we begin to solicit letters of interest and resumes. Shortly thereafter, we will begin the "vetting" process and invite candidates to the School for interviews.

I am especially grateful to Ms. Frankie Conway, our diocesan Superintendant of Schools, for her wise counsel and genuine interest in HCRCS as this process unfolds.

I shall continue to send updates to everyone as we enter more deeply into our work.

The following individuals constitute the Search Committee. It is my privilege to chair the Committee.

Ms. Frankie Conway 
Fr. Dan Beeman 
Fr. Jim Gallagher 
Dr. Kelly Golden 
Mr. Kim Payne 
Mr. Steve Luther 
Mr. Jim Naples 
Mr. Jeff Hansen 
Ms. Holly McCray 
Ms. Susan Thornton 
Ms. Julia Wingfield 
Ms. Ann Shenigo 
Ms. Pam St. Angelo 
Ms. Cat Moseley 
Mr. Doug Washington

I ask that you all please offer a prayer that the Holy Spirit will guide our work and bring it to a wonderful conclusion. My Thanks.... 
Phil Garmey
