Meet our Principal, Sheri Rutar

Dear friends and families, I’m Sheri, the Principal here at St. Katharine Drexel. When you come to visit, I’m confident you’ll experience an environment where friends feel like family and the school feels like a welcoming home.

We have strong academic standards at SKD, and we focus on developing the whole child, including emotional and social skills. We specialize in the Barton Dyslexia system, a great tutoring system for children who struggle with spelling, reading, and writing. Our exceptional team leads by example and instills strong values in our students. We love what we do and who we serve. We hope to see you and your students in our hallways soon!

What Our Families Say

  • "We have been a part of the SKD Family now for the past 13 years. The teachers, staff, and parents at SKD are devoted to the highest standards in education as well as a deep commitment to nurturing the students into being well-rounded children of God. You will never get lost in the shuffle at SKD. Each member of the staff and teachers are committed to ensuring that each child's potential is maximized."

    —Michael & Kimberly Balfanz

  • "We would make any sacrifice necessary to send our kids to St. Katharine Drexel school because they maintain the Benedictine values that the school was founded on and they are unapologetically Catholic. You simply cannot put a price on the unparalleled education that children receive at SKD. While we may invest our money, the faculty and staff invest their hearts and souls into forming our children into saints and there is no greater return on investment than that."

    —Heather Craven
