Principal of Immaculate Heart of Mary School in Wilmington, Del., since 1998, Cathy Patterson Weaver ’77 was appointed assistant superintendent of schools for the Diocese of Wilmington last summer.
“The major challenges we’re working on include how to continue to provide quality Catholic education to students and families at a reasonable cost. Ideally, Catholic education should be available to any student or family who might choose it. We are also building Catholic schools in those areas of the diocese where there are none,” Weaver says.
An American civilization graduate, Weaver has a master’s in pastoral studies with a concentration in administration from Loyola University, and an academic counseling certificate from University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
“Being at Lafayette was one of the best experiences of my life. The combination of excellent opportunities for academic growth and small-college opportunities for leadership was ideal. I credit so much of who I am now to my Lafayette experience,” Weaver says, noting that her role models included Professors David Johnson, Jim Lennertz, and Earl Pope, and Deans Herman Kissiah and Alice Sivulich.
Weaver was associate administrator at Wilmington Montessori School for 13 years. She has taught in parish religious education programs for 25 years.
