The Catholic Diocese of Memphis announced that Kadesha Gordon is now the new Principal of our Immaculate Conception Cathedral School. She is also a member of St. Augustine and the daughter of George and Wanda Gordon of the parish. A lifelong Catholic, Ms. Gordon is a 2003 graduate of Watkins Overton High School and holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Stillman College, a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) in Tuscaloosa, Alabama; and a Master of Arts in Teaching from Union University in Jackson, Tennessee. She is also currently pursuing a Master of Social Work from Union. She is a dedicated mother to two boys, Colin and Cooper, who attend Holy Rosary Catholic School.
Ms Gordon recently quoted. "My commitment to children has been curated by my faith, education, motherhood, and 13 years of practical experience, and it includes three tenets: I support the whole child, mind, body, and spirit; I respect and believe in the power of classroom teachers and support staff; and I build the community village to meet the needs of all children. I bring these tenets with me as I humbly assume leadership of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral School."
All of St. Augustine Parish wishes Ms Gordon well.

The Committee on School Facility Usage has been established to make recommendations on what will be the best use of our school. The committee will convene to discuss all ideas and submit the top three proposals to the parish council for review and make a final recommendation to Father Francis for a decision. Please know several groups and organizations have reached-out to use our school facility. To make this process transparent, and to ensure we have the input from the entire parish, a suggestion box will be placed in the narthex for anyone to put ideas and suggestions so the committee can discuss them. If you prefer, you can also speak to anyone on the committee, including Mr. Jesse Johnson, Ms. Audrey Conley, Ms. Nykesha Cole, Mr. Reginald Peyton, or Mr. Monte Flowers. Thank you for your suggestions and input to make the best use of our school building.
