Diocese Places St. Peter School Principal on Leave, Names Interim Leaders

The diocese acted after families reported new concerns following a wave of teacher resignations.

Overview

  • Diocese spokesperson Michael Kieloch said the leave decision followed additional administrative information shared by families.
  • Six teachers resigned in one day last week, which the diocese described as voluntary departures.
  • Assistant director Kevin Peloquin is serving as interim principal, with Father Gregory Stowe invited to assist in guiding the school.
  • Superintendent William F. Klements previously told families an internal review found no wrongdoing related to complaints about Principal Denise Alcala.
  • The diocese says classroom learning continued without interruption, and leaders plan staffing fixes as the school’s posted faculty count fell from 26 to 20.
