CtR Catholic School Parent Meet and Greet Introduces New Principal

Christ the Redeemer Catholic School (CtRCS), in Northwest Houston, welcomed its new principal, Dan Courtney, with a Parent Meet and Greet on Thursday, July 27. To a group of 160-plus parents, Courtney talked with many families after giving a short presentation about his life and experience.

"I was overwhelmed by the turn out first and foremost," Courtney said. "It's a true testament to how invested and engaged this community is in the education of their children. I felt so welcomed by everyone, and the parents just solidified my initial perceptions of what a truly family-oriented, faith-filled community this is."

Courtney told stories about his family, shared his vision for integrating the behavioral program "Love and Logic," and displayed his enthusiasm for the 2017-18 school year. Courtney also mentioned how he felt led to by the Holy Spirit to become the new principal of CtRCS.

"Sharing my own personal stories of how the Lord called me together with the community was a particularly special moment for me that night," he said. "I felt that the families were appreciative and supportive of my ideas for the future of CtRCS."

Courtney was most recently the assistant principal of grades 4-8 at St. John Paul II Catholic School. This year, Courtney will lead the school as CtRCS will graduate its first-ever 8th grade class. For more information about the school, visit ctrschool.com or call 281-469-8440.
