WARREN, Ohio – Anthony Catale has been named the new principal at John F. Kennedy Catholic School Upper Campus.
His first day at the school will be July 1.
“I am excited for Anthony to be rejoining the team at Kennedy and working with him to further advance the mission of Catholic education in Warren,” JFK Catholic School President William Pituch said. “He’s a dedicated Catholic educator who knows the community well and the importance of what we do.”
Catale has nearly two decades of experience in Catholic education as a teacher and administrator. He has spent the past four years as principal at St. Rose Catholic School in Girard. Catale said that during his tenure at St. Rose, he’s most proud of leading efforts to strengthen Catholic identity, improve academic achievement through data-informed instruction, expand co-curricular and extracurricular opportunities, enhance school safety and foster enrollment growth.
He previously served JFK Catholic School as both a history teacher and dean of students.
“I am truly honored and humbled to return to John F. Kennedy Catholic School Upper Campus as principal. Catholic education is not simply my profession but my vocation,” Catale said. “In many ways, this opportunity feels like a homecoming for me, and I am deeply grateful to
Superintendent Dr. Steven Jones, Mr. Pituch and the JFK Board of Directors for their trust, confidence and support in allowing me the opportunity to once again serve a community that holds such a special place in my heart.”
Catale is a graduate of Ursuline High School and earned his undergraduate degrees from Walsh University. He holds a Master of Education degree from the University of North Texas.
“I look forward to working collaboratively with the entire JFK community as we continue building upon the school’s strong tradition of faith, academic excellence and service,” Catale said. “Guided by Gospel values and the tradition of courage, integrity and dedication, I am excited to help lead the next chapter of JFK’s history as we prepare our Eagles to soar academically, spiritually and personally as young men and women of faith and purpose.”
Jones said he knows Catale “will do great things for the school.”
