After receiving multiple applications for our new principal, conducting interviews and working with the Office of Catholic Education and Formation of the Archdiocese of Saint Louis, our search committee has reached a consensus. I am happy to announce Mrs. Karen Folk will be our new principal here at St. Simon the Apostle grade school for the 2021-2022 school year. She has been a principal these past three years at Holy Cross Academy. In 2020, she earned her Masters in Educational Leadership from Saint Louis University and completed her Missouri State Certification. She also has a master degree in Elementary Education and a bachelor of science degree in Management/Marketing. She is Paul VI certified and a member of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque parish. I hope you will join me in welcoming Karen to our St. Simon community!
