Holy Spirit Catholic School

Job Description – Principal

Location: Overland Park, Kansas

Reports To: Pastor

Overview

Holy Spirit Catholic School seeks a Principal of their PreK-8 school who will build upon a strong and stable foundation and lead the community into a deeper unity of faith, intellect, and life through Christ.

This role is well suited for a leader who recognizes that Holy Spirit is in a season of consolidation and opportunity that calls for trust, presence, and thoughtful leadership. The Principal will be entrusted with shepherding what is healthy, honoring the people who have faithfully sustained the school, and steering the teachers, instruction, and the school community into greater communion with Christ through deepened engagement with the riches of the Catholic intellectual tradition.

The Principal is responsible for:

  • Inviting the school into deeper engagement with the riches of the Catholic intellectual tradition, not through abrupt reform, but through professional development, faculty seminar, formation, and exploration of the reality of the Catholic faith throughout all instruction.
  • Serving as the pastoral and educational leader of the school in close collaboration with the Pastor and parish leadership.
  • Sustaining and strengthening trust among faculty, families, and students through consistent communication, follow-through, and visible presence.
  • Oversee student life and discipline through upholding virtue-based discipline policies., supporting teachers in parent-facing disciplinary conversations, and addressing serious student concerns with fairness, discretion, and pastoral care.
  • Maintaining institutional stability, ensuring that established policies, systems, and student-support structures continue to function smoothly.
  • Leading with prudence, patience, and charity, recognizing that authentic renewal unfolds through relationship and confidence rather than speed or mandate.

Qualifications & Disposition

The successful candidate will demonstrate:

  • A deeply rooted Catholic faith, expressed through prayer, sacramental life, and fidelity to the Church.
  • A genuine appreciation for the Catholic intellectual tradition and the ability to communicate its value in accessible, non-ideological language.
  • Prior experience in school leadership (Principal, Assistant Principal, or equivalent).
  • Strong relational capacity: warm, steady, and capable of navigating complex conversations with clarity and compassion.
  • Emotional maturity and resilience, particularly in communities that value stability and continuity.
  • A Masters degree in Educational Leadership (as required by the Archdiocese).

Competitive Salary- negotiable based on experience, education, and quality of fit.

To Apply:

Please submit a cover letter and resume outlining your alignment with the mission of the Holy Spirit Catholic School and your vision for leadership to Edi Denton, edenton@arcadiaed.com.
