As the next school year quickly approaches, new leadership is set to take the helm of Shrine Catholic Grade School. Mr. Scott Wisniewski was selected as the next Principal along with Ms. Erika Zwolinski as the Assistant Principal. Both are set to prepare for an altered student population which includes Pre-K to 5th grade beginning with the 2021-2022 school year due to the 6th grade move to the Academy campus.
With a professional teaching background spanning over twelve years, Mr. Wisniewski joins Shrine from All Saints Catholic School in Canton, MI where he recently served as Assistant Principal and Athletic Director since 2018. Mr. Wisniewski holds an M.A. in Educational Leadership from Madonna University, an M.A. in Special Education from Western Michigan University, and a B.A. in Secondary Education from Western Michigan University.
"I am so thrilled to be named the next principal of Shrine Catholic Grade School and look forward to working with the exemplary faculty, staff and pastoral team who have made such a lasting positive impact on students and families especially during this last year." stated Mr. Wisniewski.
Ms. Zwolinski has served the Shrine community for the past four years as a teacher. Ms. Zwolinski is currently completing a Master of Education degree with a concentration in Early Childhood and STEM in Early Learning and a Master of Education degree in Education Leadership and Administration. Ms. Zwolinski holds a B.S. in Elementary Education with a concentration in Integrated Science.
Both candidates were selected from a pool of qualified applicants with the assistance from the Shrine Grade School Leadership Team. "I have every confidence that Scott and Erica are leaders who are equipped with the right knowledge and oversight to continue our mission to instill Catholic values and academic excellence in a Christ-centered environment." said Jo Jones, Head of Shrine Catholic Schools.
Shrine Catholic Grade School is set to begin the 2021-2022 school year in late August.
