Our Academy is a parish school and therefore Fr. Kyle Stanton in his role of Pastor also serves as Head of School. He works to promote the overall mission of the school, safeguard our authentic Catholic identity, and serve as spiritual leader to students, families, and staff. Fr. Kyle has an A.B.A. from New Hampshire Community Technical College, B.A. in Theology with a minor in Philosophy from Franciscan University and an M.A. in Theology from St John Seminary.

He believes the school strengthens the community and forms children academically, emotionally and spiritually. It was his dream to create an environment of academics in which the light of Christ is not hindered. When he is not working to serve the parish Fr. Kyle enjoys kayaking, fishing... and opening schools.

To manage the more day to day needs of the students, families, and staff Fr. Kyle will rely upon the Director of School, who will teach while serving in a leadership position: 

Every Catholic School requires positive and talented leadership committed to Jesus and His Church. We are pleased to have this in Clara Robertson.

She received a degree in Theology and Communications from Franciscan University of Steubenville and a catechist certification from Notre Dame University. Although it wasn’t initially intended, she continued with her Theology studies because she was so amazed at how beautiful, deep, and rich the Catholic faith is, she wanted to learn more.

Mrs. Robertson is fluent in Spanish. She enjoys traveling, learning about different cultures, and going on adventures. She considers being a mother as her greatest accomplishment . Her biggest joys are good times spent with family & friends and witnessing kids fall in love with their Catholic faith. Her biggest adventure has been trusting in the plans God has put forth in her life.
