ARCHBISHOP BERGAN HIRES A NEW PRINCIPAL!
May 20, 2013
Dear Bergan Parents,
I am writing to inform you that the work of the Bergan Principal Search Committee is finished. The Committee and I followed the steps that are used in the interview/hiring process for administrators in all of the Omaha Archdiocesan Catholic Schools. In the initial stages of the process, the Search Committee felt that we should place our focus on candidates who are already serving as principals in other schools. After reviewing a large number of impressive resumes and interviewing 4 candidates, the Search Committee gave a unanimous recommendation that a contract be offered.
Today I am very happy to announce that the new principal of Archbishop Bergan Catholic School is Mr. Dan Koenig. Mr. Koenig is a graduate of Bergan, and is currently serving as the Assistant Principal at Fremont Public High School. Dan and his wife Jess (also a Bergan graduate) have 2 sons, Ryker and Owen, are members of Saint Patrick’s Parish. The Search Committee and I feel that Mr. Koenig brings the faith, skills, knowledge, energy, and attitude that are necessary for our school to grow into the future that God has waiting for us.
I am looking forward to working with Mr. Koenig, along with the faculty, staff, students, parents, and community, as we make our mission of instilling a “passion, as exemplified by Christ, for faith, knowledge, and service” a reality. We will be scheduling times through the summer where families and community members can meet Mr. Koenig. Please continue to watch Sycamore and our Bergan website for additional information.
May God keep you and your families safe, and may you all have a great summer!
In Christ,
Father David D. Belt
Pastor, Saint Patrick’s Parish
President, Archbishop Bergan Catholic School
