Kristin Kramer Named Principal of St. Pius X Catholic High School

Dear St. Pius X Catholic High School Community,

It is with great joy that we inform you of the selection of the next Principal of St. Pius X Catholic High School. Bishop Konzen has accepted the recommendation of the interview committee and we have appointed Ms. Kristin Kramer '98 as the ninth Principal in school history effective July 1, 2026. The announcement was shared with the entire student body as a joyful surprise following the Fine Arts Assembly today. Based on the enthusiastic reaction of both faculty and students, it is clear that Ms. Kramer enjoys the confidence, respect, and support of our school community.

Throughout this search process, we sought a Principal deeply rooted in the Catholic faith, committed to educational excellence, and possessing a genuine love and appreciation for the rich history and traditions of St. Pius X. Ms. Kramer embodies all three of these qualities. In addition, she brings a clear vision and strong desire to lead our school forward with passion, faith, and purpose. We could not be more pleased to welcome her as our permanent Principal.

Ms. Kramer shared the following message:

"St. Pius X has been the backdrop of pivotal moments in my life—first as a student, then as an educator, and most recently as the Interim Principal. To be named Principal of my alma mater is more than a professional milestone; it is an honor. My vision for our school is simple: to honor the legacy of those who came before us by ensuring we always 'do the best we can with the gifts God gave us.' I am committed to fostering an environment where our students grow academically, discover and pursue their passions, and, above all, grow in their Catholic faith."

We extend our sincere gratitude to the many stakeholders who participated in and helped organize the focus groups throughout this search process. Your dedication, thoughtful input, and willingness to support this important work are a testament to the strength and unity of the St. Pius X community.

May God continue to bless St. Pius X Catholic High School as we begin this exciting new chapter.

Domini Sumus,

Aaron Parr '06
