It is my pleasure to announce that Mrs. Gerda Letizia has been chosen as the new principal for Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School starting July 1, 2026. Mrs. Letizia will be replacing Mrs. Elizabeth Agresta who served as OLL Principal for the past four years. Mrs. Agresta announced her retirement in January 2026.

Mrs. Letizia has served as the Assistant Principal at St. Cecelia Catholic school for the past four years. She also taught at Our Lady of Lourdes School for the 2021-22 school year. She holds an M.S.A. in School Administration from the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, a B.S. in Elementary Education from the University of Maine in Farmington and is currently enrolled in the Villanova Program for Catholic School Management.

Mrs. Letizia was chosen from a field of twenty-two applicants from throughout the U.S. She was the unanimous choice for this position with our interview committee based on her credentials and experience. She is a member of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish where she serves as a Reader/Lector at the 7:30 am Sunday Mass.

I know you will join me in warmly welcoming Mrs. Letizia to Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School as Principal. Our school will be blessed by her leadership, experience, foresight, and devotion to the Catholic Faith – for the coming school year and well into the future.

Fr. John Tapp, Pastor
