St. Thomas More Catholic School principal Joseph Rosi received the 2018 Pennsylvania Primary Administrator Award in Harrisburg on Wednesday, May 2, 2018.

The award, given by PA CAPE (Pennsylvania Council on American Private Education), honors only three principals in the state of Pennsylvania each year within the categories of early childhood, primary and secondary education.

Award finalists were asked to write a letter of response detailing how winning the award would help them promote their school and private education in Pennsylvania. Principal Rosi noted, “Because of our ability to focus on the whole child at St. Thomas More, as well as their family, we have seen student successes that are unparalleled.” He also underscored his desire to advocate for private education in our state and national legislatures. He believes that “all children deserve the best education possible no matter their financial situation.”

According to PA CAPE, the winners for the award are leaders who, in the eyes of the community, model outstanding educational leadership to the teachers, school and communities that they serve. They are passionate and committed to engaging and developing their staff and schools with whom they are entrusted.

Mr. Rosi shared, “My life’s vocation is to be a father, and that, coupled with the privilege of being a principal, allows me to shape both my own children’s and other children’s educational experience. That is profound to me.” He also described why he believes so strongly in private education, stating, “At St. Thomas More, teachers have their own children who attend our school and it gives them a unique perspective on teaching. Here, we are successful because of our belief in providing our students with twenty-first century skills, a strong faith and a sense of service.”

St. Thomas More School celebrated Principal Rosi’s award with a reception following the 8:45 a.m. school mass on Friday, May 4, 2018.
