All Saints Catholic School is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Louis Howe as its next Principal and Instructional Leader, effective July 1, 2026.
Following a prayerful and comprehensive national search, Dr. Howe was unanimously recommended by the school's Search Committee and appointed by the Diocese of Bridgeport Office of Catholic Schools.
Dr. Howe brings a wealth of experience in Catholic education as a teacher, administrator, and faith-filled leader. Most recently, he served as Principal of St. Joseph School in Danbury, where he led the school through a period of growth and strengthening while remaining firmly committed to the mission of Catholic education.
Known for his collaborative leadership style and dedication to instructional excellence, Dr. Howe believes Catholic schools should be places where students encounter Christ, discover their God-given gifts, and are challenged to reach their full potential. His leadership is grounded in a deep commitment to faith formation and academic achievement.
"We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Howe to the All Saints community," said Steven Virgadamo, Head of School. "His experience, faith, and passion for Catholic education make him an outstanding fit for our school. We are excited about the vision and leadership he brings as we look to the future."
Dr. Howe succeeds Linda Dunn, who will retire following 15 years of dedicated service to All Saints Catholic School and an extraordinary 50-year career in Catholic education. Under her leadership, All Saints strengthened its academic programs, deepened its Catholic identity, and continued its tradition of excellence in faith and learning.
The All Saints community is deeply grateful for Mrs. Dunn's legacy and the lasting impact she has made on generations of students and families.
As preparations begin for the 2026-2027 school year, Dr. Howe will spend the summer meeting families, faculty, parish leaders, alumni, and friends of the school.
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Howe to the All Saints family as we begin this exciting new chapter in our school's history.
Welcome home, Dr. Howe. We've been waiting for you.
