Ms. Bordeleau Named New Principal at St. Leo the Great
It is with great joy and sadness to announce that Ms. Marie Bordeleau has accepted the offer to serve as principal of St. Leo the Great School in San Jose, starting with the 2009-2010 school year. It is with sadness that she will be leaving us after this school year, but with great joy that she has been called upon to take up the role as principal of a Catholic school in the Diocese of San Jose. She will continue to serve as vice principal through the summer and will work to ensure a smooth transition for the new vice principal. We have started the search for a new vice principal and it is my hope to have a new vice principal hired by May 1st. Congratulations to Ms. Bordeleau and thank you for all that you do at St. Simon!
