Aloha kākou,
It is with great joy and excitement that I began this week as the new Head of School for St. Anthony’s. I am deeply honored and humbled by the opportunity to lead the best school on Maui. I am most appreciative of the warm welcome and support I have received from the St. Anthony’s community. The St. Anthony’s community is not only our school, but our parish, our alumni, and our extended ‘ohana – supporters both locally and beyond. I look forward to meeting and engaging with all of you in the weeks and months to come, as well as to hearing about your history and experience with St. Anthony’s School.
We look with anticipation to the beginning of the new school year in a few weeks. Our grade school enrollment has increased, and we have added new teaching staff to address this need. One characteristic of Marianist education is to educate for adaptation and change. Please support those of us who are new as we all become acclimated. We will also be communicating with all stakeholders as we prepare for the opening, and as procedures, including COVID-related protocols are reviewed and finalized.
We do have a couple more teacher positions to fill. Certainly please contact me if you or someone you know may be interested.
St. Anthony’s truly is a thriving, vibrant school community with so many amazing things happening. I look forward to communicating about these and sharing the story of St. Anthony’s in the weeks and months to come. Please introduce yourself to me when you are on campus.
Peace,
David Kenney
