The position is effective July 1, 2026. While a full position profile will be available in the coming weeks, a brief overview of the school follows.

MISSION STATEMENT

Holy Family Catholic Academy develops internationally minded lifelong learners rooted in our Catholic faith.

Holy Family Catholic Academy is one of the most diverse schools in the Diocese of Dallas and in the most diverse zip code in the nation. The School’s history evolves from the 2016 merger of two Irving parish schools in the Diocese, Holy Family of Nazareth (Est.
1965) and St. Luke’s Catholic School (Est.
1955). With 145 students and a dedicated team of 23 faculty and staff, the school provides a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where students grow intellectually, spiritually, and socially. Over the summer of 2023, Holy Family was accepted as an International Baccalaureate Candidate School preparing young scholars with the skills and knowledge all International Baccalaureate students strive to embody. This is a prestigious honor because Holy Family is the only Parochial school in the state of Texas going through the International Baccalaureate accreditation process.

The ideal candidate to lead Holy Family will possess the following:

• Five or more years of collaborative leadership experience as a principal and/or assistant principal (Catholic school leadership and experience preferred).
• An advanced degree in Educational Administration/Leadership or Principal Certification (may be in-progress)
• A commitment to promoting and supporting the spiritual growth of the school community.
• Demonstrated experience strengthening parish community ties and cultivating relationships that advance philanthropic giving.
• Candidates will be practicing Catholics.

Applications are now being accepted for this position and interested candidates should send a letter of interest, résumé, a statement of educational philosophy, and a list of five references with contact information to The Education Group at either address below. For further information about the position and application procedures, please contact the School’s search consultants.
