St. Cecilia Catholic School in Independence, Kentucky is prayerfully searching for the next leader of our school family, a principal who will walk with our students, support our teachers, and help guide our community into the 2026–2027 school year and beyond.

We are a Kindergarten through 8th grade school, blessed with an Early Childhood Learning Center that includes both preschool and daycare, and an in-house aftercare program. More importantly, we are a place where children are known, loved, and formed, not just academically, but spiritually and personally. Our school is an extension of our parish home, and everything we do is rooted in faith, family, and community.

We are looking for someone who doesn’t just want a job, but a calling. A leader who will greet children by name, encourage teachers in their mission, and partner with parents in raising strong, faith-filled young people. Someone who understands that education is more than books and tests, it’s about shaping hearts, building character, and helping each child discover who God created them to be.

At St. Cecilia, you won’t find just a school; you’ll find a community that supports one another, celebrates together, and shows up when it matters most. We are proud of who we are, and we are excited about where we are going.

If you feel called to be part of something special, we would love to hear from you. Come lead. Come serve. Come grow with us. Interested candidates must be practicing Roman Catholics. Please mail or email a letter of interest, a comprehensive resume, and at least three references to Stephen Koplyay, SPHR, P.O. Box 15550, Covington, KY 41015-0550, or skoplyay@covdio.org.
