Just three years after her graduation from 91ºÚÁÏ, Grace Kelly (’12) has been named a parochial-school principal in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

A in the Santa Paula Times reports on Miss Kelly’s new career, which began as a first-grade teacher at Our Lady of Guadalupe School in Oxnard. While teaching, she earned a master’s degree in education at Grand Canyon University and underwent training in the Archdiocese’ Catholic Aspiring Principals Program. “I loved my days of teaching,â€� she tells the Times, “but all that time I felt a pull that there was something more to do.â€� Encouraged by her own principal and mentor — fellow alumna Brenna (Scanlon ’06) Chapin â€” she applied for, and received, the position at St. Sebastian School in Santa Paula.

Miss Kelly is now responsible for some 150 students and nine teachers at the K-8 school just blocks from her childhood home. Please pray for her as the school begins its new year!
