HIGH POINT — Dr. Maryanne Leonard is officially stepping into the role as principal at Immaculate Heart of Mary School in High Point after having served as interim principal for the past nine months, the Catholic Schools Office announced this week.
Leonard is an experienced Catholic educator with a deep connection to the IHM community. Before becoming interim principal, she served as IHM’s lead middle school English Language Arts teacher. Previous experience includes serving as teacher, curriculum facilitator and reading specialist for Guilford County Schools as well as stints as an adjunct professor at both Walden University and UNC-Greensboro.
She holds a doctoral degree in curriculum instruction and supervision from UNC-Greensboro, as well as multiple degrees from the College of New Rochelle in New York.
"I cannot say enough about the respectful and thoughtful process that was used to discern my place as principal," Leonard said. "This past year, we turned a page at IHM, and I look forward to continued collaboration with the community to secure and enhance our focus on faith, tradition, and excellence with Jesus at the center of all we do."
