ROSENBERG, TX – Holy Rosary Catholic Church is pleased to announce that Mrs. Adrienne Rodriguez has been named the new principal of Holy Rosary Catholic School.
The process of finding a new principal for Holy Rosary Catholic School began in January 2022 at the Archdiocesan level with the guidance of the Superintendent of Catholic Schools, Dr. Debra Haney, vetting qualified individuals to then go before the Principal Selection Committee consisting of members of the School and Parish Community, Parish Staff, and former educational leaders from the community.
Mrs. Adrienne Rodriguez grew up in Katy attending St. Bartholomew Catholic Church. Her husband is a Richmond native and attended St. Teresa in Sugar Land. They are moving back to the area after having been in Georgetown, Texas so that they can be closer to family with the recent addition to their family – their 3-month-old daughter.
Mrs. Rodriguez graduated from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas with a BA in Spanish and received her Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University in Austin, Texas. She began her career in education as a high school Spanish teacher, moved into school administration as a middle school principal, then high school associate principal, and most recently served as an elementary school principal in Georgetown.
Upon acceptance of her new position, Mrs. Rodriguez stated, “I felt God leading me to the Catholic school system for some years and after a lot of prayer and patience, it is with great pleasure and excitement that I begin the journey as principal of Holy Rosary Catholic School. I am blessed to be able to continue my life’s passion of nurturing students, supporting teachers, and partnering with parents to educate our future’s mind, heart, and spirit.”
Fr. Orrin Halepeska, Pastor of Holy Rosary Parish, added, “We feel confident that her vast experience and leadership will enhance the legacy of academic excellence and community that has been synonymous with our school for over 80 years. We look forward to welcoming her into our Holy Rosary family.”
The community is invited to meet Mrs. Rodriguez on Sunday, June 26th at the 11:30am Mass at Holy Rosary Catholic Church and the Parish Picnic immediately following, 1:00-3:00pm.
