Our Team

2024-2025

St. Cecelia Interparochial School is dedicated to providing a setting for student learning which is based in the belief of educating children in a catholic environment – preparing them spiritually and academically for their elementary school years.

A dedicated, loving faculty and staff are the hallmarks of our school. Teachers are committed to continuing professional development which will benefit all students, and many faculty members hold advanced degrees in education. Staff members are equally committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment for our children.

All of our teachers receive a Professional Educator’s Certificate from the State of Florida Department of Education and have satisfactorily completed all requirements of Florida Statutes and State Board of Education Rules.

Instructional personnel and school administrators in keeping with the Diocese of St. Petersburg Code of Conduct for adults adhere to the National Catholic Education Association Code of Ethics for Catholic Educators.
