Dear John Paul II Center Community,
As the newly appointed principal of John Paul II Center for Special Learning, I am excited for the journey ahead. I am committed to our mission of challenging our students every day while guiding them to reach their God-given potential. I am grateful to my students and their families. You have enriched my life countless times, teaching me patience, kindness, and unconditional love.
I am grateful to John Funk and Shelly Kreska for working together in this role since the beginning of the school year. They accepted the additional responsibilities as co-principals while continuing to teach. Their commitment to our students is inspiring, and I look forward to continuing their legacy. Thank you to JPII’s Board of Directors for their trust and confidence in me. I am honored by the opportunity to serve in this capacity.
As a woman of Catholic faith and identity, I am humbled to assume this role within a community that shares my spiritual values and beliefs. My faith has been a guiding light in my life, and I am excited to foster a nurturing environment where our students can grow personally, academically, and spiritually. Family holds a special place in my heart, and I am blessed to be supported by my husband, Charlie, and our dog, Jax. Their unwavering love and encouragement inspire me to pursue excellence in everything I do.
Above all, I am driven by a deep passion for serving the individuals, families, and staff of the John Paul II Center. I am committed to fostering a culture of collaboration, inclusivity, and excellence where every community member feels valued and empowered to thrive.
I look forward to getting to know everyone at JPII and learning how we can work together to ensure the success and well-being of our students and adults. Thank you for the opportunity to guide our center.
With warmest regards,
Mrs. Kaylee Simcik, M. Ed.
Principal, John Paul II Center
