Sr. Jo-Ann is a Filippini sister and is in her 5th year at St. Gerard Majella School. One of her main goals has been to create a family oriented school. Through monthly family nights that employ prayer, fun and fellowship, she has attained this goal.
Each student at St. Gerard's is a Shining Star. Sister makes every effort to encourage students to reach their potential. Our day begins with and is centered around prayer. This an essential practice.
Sister Jo-Ann is well respected as a principal. In 2002, she was asked to be a presenter at the National Catholic Educators Association convention and she proudly used St. Gerard Majella School as a model of multiculturalism in an urban Catholic school.
