St. Patrick’s Catholic School in Perry is excited to welcome a few new additions to their staff for the 2024-25 school year.

Principal Kandice Patillo is in her seventh year and explains that she is blessed to retain the same wonderful teachers from a year ago. However, Patillo highlights that Sienna Layne is bringing her music expertise to the school district. Patillo emphasizes that St. Patrick’s brought in Kelly Taylor as a Preschool Teacher and Tera Eiteman as a Preschool Associate. Patillo describes that they are offering Gingerbread Preschool as a paid program this year.

“We’re looking at building that program from the ground up. Essentially, we’re working with health and human services, HHS, now to do the licensing so that we can accept those childcare vouchers and really truly just have a strong four year old program still in our building, still Gingerbread Preschool, so kind of (the) same program, new look, new faces.”

Patillo is happy to have the new teachers apart of St. Patrick’s Catholic School and they match the school’s message of cultivating connections with Jesus Christ.
