Dear Families of St. Anthony's School,

My name is Patty Patano, and I am very honored that Fr. Spencer has selected me to be the next principal of St. Anthony School. For the last seven years I have served as the proud principal of Holy Cross School in Santa Cruz. Before that time my experience included teaching middle
school ELA for six years and second grade for eight years. 

I am the mother of twin girls, now young adults, and as a parent I understand and value the importance of Catholic education in the lives of our children. I have witnessed firsthand the transformative impact this education has on children and know it provides them with a solid foundation of respect, kindness, academic excellence and service that will last throughout their lives.

St. Anthony School is growing and thriving, and I am blessed to continue the excellent work that.  Ms. Mastantuono has put in place with you. Parents are the first and best teachers of their children, and I look forward to partnering with you in the education of our students. Through the interview process, I gained a sense of the deep love and loyalty held by faculty, staff and alumni.  I am very excited to become part of this strong community!

I know it will take a little time at first to get to know everyone’s name but I can promise you that I will care for your children as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you in person as we begin our next school year together. Until then, I wish you and your family a wonderful
summer!

Blessings,

Patty Patano
