MARIAN CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL

Dear Parents and Friends of Marian Catholic High School,

 

Thank you for welcoming me to Marian. I am immediately impressed with the school.

I can see why so many people speak so highly about Marian. I am here to serve you and

your children. In addition, I aim to support the broader school community until a new

Principal/Head of School can be identified. You can count on me to listen, to encourage

and to guide. 

 

A little bit about me: I have an M.S. in Nursing and an M.B.A. and an extensive background

in healthcare administration. Most recently, I was the CEO for Holy Family Senior Living Center

in Bethlehem. A teacher at heart, I have been an Adjunct Professor at both Cedar Crest College

and DeSales University for many years. My Catholic faith informs all that I do and my wife and

I are the proud parents of three children, each a beneficiary of Catholic education. 

 

Outside of work, I enjoy lifting weights, gardening and when my knee cooperates, going for a nature hike. I’m passionate about Penn State football and have been described as down to earth and practical. I want Marian to be the best Catholic school that it can be.

 

I would love the opportunity to meet you — please stop in any time or email me. Hospitality is very important to me. My email is jshadid@mariancatholichs.org.

 

Again, thank you for your welcome and for your commitment to the school. I look forward to meeting each of your children as the school year begins.

 

In Christ,

 

Joe Shadid, Acting Head of School
