Dear Parents/Guardians,
I have good news with the announcement of my replacement for next year. Here is the excerpt that Mia Planas-David, the school board president sent to the school community last week.
In the last month, I along with Father Kazimierz, Maureen Allen (faculty), Ana Cierra (faculty), Allison Castro (faculty), Derrick Wong (school parent/alumni/parishioner), Isabel Leon-Verdin (school parent/parishioner), Clarita Lico-Calimbas (former school parent/parishioner) and Rafael Centeno (parishioner) have been committed with finding a successor to fill Principal Riener's position with the great leadership and assistance of Dr. Tara Rolle, Associate Superintendent for Continuous School Improvement.
The committee is pleased to announce the position has been offered to Joseph E. Ryan, Jr. and he will be joining All Souls as our Principal in the next school year. Currently an Assistant Principal at Our Lady of Mercy in Daly City, Joe also brings 29 years’ experience with the Archdiocese of San Francisco. He will likely be on campus from time to time to work through the transition.
Let's all wish Principal Riener the very best as he starts a new chapter in his life. Thank you for your commitment and service for many years at All Souls Catholic School.
Best,
Mia Planas-David
On behalf of the Principal Hiring Committee/School Advisory Board
