 St. Stephen Parish mourns with the families of Uvalde, TX. We ask you to pray with us for the children and families during this time of pain and grief.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                     May 23, 2022
Dear St. Stephen Parish and School Families
When Mr. Golden announced he would be retiring at the end of the 2021-22 school year, a principal search committee was formed and feedback was solicited, to create a profile of the next educational leader of St.    Stephen School.   The search committee received several qualified internal and external applicants and spent the last few weeks diligently assessing and evaluating each candidate to determine the best fit for our school   community.
As a result of those efforts, we are excited to announce that Mrs. Marianne Kozlowski has been appointed as the new principal, effective July 1, 2022.
Mrs. Kozlowski is a dynamic educator and administrator who is committed to academic excellence and spiritual growth.  She has over twenty years of classroom and leadership experience, including the years in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.  Mrs. Kozlowski has served as the assistant principal of Immaculate Heart of Mary School in Towson for the last four years and has been instrumental in strengthening the parish and school community.  
She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary and Special Education from the University of Dayton, a Master’s of Education in Curriculum and Instruction at Ashland University, and is currently pursuing a Doctorate of Education in School Leadership at Saint Leo University.  Additionally, Mrs. Kozlowski possesses a MSDE Elementary and Special Education Certificate, as well as MSDE Administrator I and II Certifications.
Mrs. Kozlowski is eager to get to know the St. Stephen’s community and will be on campus on Tuesday, May 24 after dismissal to introduce herself to faculty and staff.  We are planning a meet and greet for the school and parish families in the coming weeks and will share the details as soon as a date is set. 
We are grateful for the work of the Principal Search Committee and are confident that with Mrs. Kozlowski’s leadership and your support, St. Stephen School will continue to remain a beacon of learning and faith. 
Thank you for your commitment to St. Stephen School and to Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Baltimore!
Yours in Christ,
Rev. George Gannon                  Dr. Donna Hargens, Superintendent        St. Stephen  Parish                    Archdiocese of Baltimore
