Staff (2007-2008) |
Meet the Staff
A small, private school can only excel with a
very talented and experienced group of staff and faculty. Our Lady of the Rosary
Academy has such a staff, fully dedicated to the principles and direction of the
school. Our Teachers do not fail to offer one-on-one time to students and have a
wide degree of freedom to enhance classroom instruction to benefit their students.
The administration completes a detailed background check on each staff member and verifies
their ability to teach a traditional curriculum effectively .
