WASHINGTON — The three Catholic schools in Washington now have two interim principals for the 2010-2011 school year, according to Daryl Hagan, diocesan superintendent of schools. Jeanne Heltzel, retired principal from Holy Family School in Jasper, and Gerry Adams, retired principal from Memorial High School in Evansville, will serve as administrators at Washington Catholic elementary, middle and high schools. “Jenne will lead grades pre-K through five while Gerry will lead grades six through 12,” Hagan said in an article in the Catholic newpaper The Message. “This structure provides the opportunity for their schools in the spring to begin the process to hire a new principal which would begin with the 2011-2012 school years.” “This allows us plenty of time to look for new principals,” WC school board member Darrell Deem said of Heltzel and Adams year at WC. “I am grateful to Gerry and Jeanne for coming out of retirement to share their time and talent with Washington Catholic.” Heltzel served as principal at the Jasper school for 10 years. Adams served as principal at Memorial High School for 26 years. “We’re excited about their experience,” Deem said of Heltzel and Adams. “We’ll benefit from it and are glad to have persons with their expertise. David Memmer, principal at the three Washington schools since 2007, is the new principal at Holy Spirit School in Evansville. “We understand his decision to accept the Evansville position,” Deem said. “He was handling K through 12 and now we’ll have two people doing the jobss."
