Biography

Mrs. Kelly worked at PND for a decade as an English and AP Capstone teacher before nudges from the Holy Spirit led her to the principal position at PND beginning with the 23-24 school year. Her favorite parts of serving as an administrator are the unpredictability that each day brings, meeting daily with different students and faculty/staff members, and helping the school live out its mission to form disciples of Jesus Christ in a community of Catholic faith, knowledge, and service. She, her husband, and her four children belong to St. Philomena parish. Fun Fact: Mrs. Kelly attended the first-ever on-campus college football playoff game at Notre Dame Stadium in 2024.
