Letter from the President |

Dear SUA Families,
I'm writing to provide you with an update on the Principal Search at SUA. Earlier this month, with support from the Board of Trustees, we retained Partners in Mission School Leadership Search Solutions. They specialize in Catholic school leadership and will guide our search for the next SUA Principal. With their national network and database of candidates, we’re confident in finding a mission-driven leader for SUA.
The search is expected to conclude by Spring 2025, with a new Principal starting on July 1, 2025. For more details, including the updated search prospectus, visit our website: https://www.toledosua.org/careers. If you, or someone you know, may be interested, please contact Shana Rossi from Partners in Mission at srossi@partnersinmission.com.
We’re confident this process will bring us a candidate who will continue to build on SUA’s tradition of excellence. Thank you for your continued support and prayers and a special thank you to Liz Huebner for stepping in as Interim Principal during this transition. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
Soli Deo Gloria!
