Tuesday we learned the mission, educational philosophy, and distinctives of several of Erie's faith-based private schools. On the program were administrators from the Cathedral Prep, Villa Maria, and Mother Teresa Academy group of schools: Will Pituch, Tim Dougherty, Christine Uht, and Jamie Brim. Then Jim Gallagher, the Superintendent of the Diocese of Erie Catholic Schools headed a panel with Lisa Panighetti, principal of Our Lady of Peace School, Paul Cancilla, Assistant Principal of Mercyhurst Prep, and Will Pituch, Vice-President for Academic Affairs for Cathedral Prep and Villa Maria Academy. Finally, Daniel Brooker, Head of School of Erie First Christian Academy, was joined by Jennifer Straub, Assistant Head of School, to round out our discussions.
