Message from Mrs. Polito
Dear Parents,

I would like to thank everyone for making me feel welcome at St. George School. As an educator of over 34 years, I have had the opportunity to work in public, private and parochial schools and have served on teams assigned to evaluate schools throughout the Diocese of Baton Rouge. St. George School has an outstanding reputation. In the few days I have been here, I have come to see this reputation is well deserved.  

Students and Home and School members conducted tours for new students during the recent Open House. The students were helpful and answered many questions posed by prospective parents. They were great representatives of the school and made a positive impression on the parents on the tour.

Your faculty and staff, led by Mrs. Fontenot, have excellent credentials and have extensive knowledge of the curriculum. I have observed outstanding education practices throughout the school. 

Please be patient with me as I strive to get to know you and your children. The opportunity to work with you and your children is a blessing. I am especially pleased to work with Mrs. Fontenot. Her leadership and concern for all stakeholders of St. George School is remarkable. I look forward to serving you this year as Assistant Principal.  

Mrs. Polito
