St. Francis Solanus School Is Seeking Its Next Principal

St. Francis Solanus School is looking for its next principal. Together with Quincy Catholic Schools, the parish is seeking a faith-filled, vision-driven Principal-Minister to serve as the spiritual and educational leader of our PreK–8 school on College Avenue.

Principal-Minister is the title the Diocese of Springfield uses for its Catholic school principals. Along with leading the school day to day, the Principal-Minister helps lead the faith life of the school alongside Fr. Steven Arisman, and works closely with our teachers, families and Quincy Catholic Schools.

Who we’re looking for

We’re hoping to find a practicing Catholic with proven leadership experience, someone who will help every student grow in faith and in the classroom. Internal candidates are welcome to apply.

How to apply

Please send a cover letter, your resume and a reference page with three references to Dr. Chris Gill, Chief Administrative Leader of Quincy Catholic Schools. Applications received by December 18, 2026 get priority consideration, and later applications will be reviewed as needed.
