Prince of Peace Catholic School has new assistant principal

Prince of Peace Catholic School has announced that Andy Rothery has joined the school as assistant principal. Rothery has a solid background in Catholic school administration and classroom teaching. 

He was the school principal of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School and previous to that, assistant principal of Saint Rose Academy, both in the Birmingham Diocese. In addition, he has taught at two Florida Catholic schools: St. Michael’s Academy in Fernandina Beach, Florida, and Resurrection Parish School in Jacksonville, Florida.

Rothery holds a master’s degree in education in supervision and administration from Marymount University in Virginia. He received his bachelor’s degree in political science/history from the University of North Florida, Jacksonville.

In addition to his administrative responsibilities at Prince of Peace, he will be teaching eighth-grade world history and co-teaching eighth-grade confirmation classes this fall. 

“I am so happy to be here,” said Rothery. “The school has a great reputation. It’s the kind of school where you drive by it and say, ‘I want to be a part of that.’”

Rothery lives in Irondale with his wife, Kim, and daughters, Abigal and Lily. He and his wife just celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary.
