Eileen Schweyer is the new principal at Christ the King Elementary School, replacing Sister Trudy Helder, who served for 28 years.
The Rev. James A.

Her Catholic values, credentials, vast experience as both teacher and school leader made her our top choice. We ask that the members of our parish community offer Dr. Schweyer their support and prayers as she prepares to accept her position as principal of Christ the King School. We are also grateful to Sister Trudy for her years of tireless service. We offer prayerful best wishes for her in retirement.”
