2010 Founder's Day
Blessed with a perfect spring day and the company of benefactors, staff, board members, and students and their families, our 2010 Founder's Day on April 11th was a great way to get together and celebrate Father Harry Tompson, S.J.'s vision of hope and love for at-risk children in New Orleans. As Father Harry loved a good parade, the Hot 8 Brass Band led us in a second line from our Founder's Day Mass at Immaculate Conception Church back to our campus for a reception. Thanks to all who attended on this special day.

Good Shepherd Welcomes Principal Emily M. Paul The Board of Directors of The Good Shepherd School Nativity Mission School is proud to announce Mrs. Emily M. Paul as its new Principal beginning July 1, 2009. Mrs. Paul was selected after a nationwide search, receiving applications from as far away as California and the Virgin Islands. Mrs. Paul was born and raised in New Orleans and has been an educator for over thirty years in both public and Catholic schools, mainly in the New Orleans area. She has been a principal for the past fourteen years. Mrs. Paul spent twenty-six years serving St. Leo the Great Elementary School, including the last nine years as Principal. As a result of Katrina destroying her home and permanently closing Marian Central Catholic Middle School where she was Principal, Emily and her family have spent the last four years in Shreveport, Louisiana. While there, she has been Principal of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Academy. Mrs. Paul holds a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, a Masters Degree in Educational Administration, and a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education. Her professional activities include serving as a Fellow at the School Leadership Center of Greater New Orleans, a consultant for Urban Education for the National Catholic Education Association, and a featured speaker on education at state and national levels. Her professional memberships are numerous. Mrs. Paul is the recipient of the Order of St. Louis and an Inductee in KAPPA GAMMA PI National Honor Society. The Board of Directors, faculty, staff, and families of Good Shepherd School welcome Emily and her husband Roy back to New Orleans and their home and are most grateful they will be part of the Good Shepherd family.
