When did you start working at Holy Family - St. Mary's Catholic School?

• I have been at HFSM School for 10 years this year!

What is your favorite part about being the school principal?

• Being a principal is new to me after teaching for 19 years, but I'm so excited for this new opportunity. I love that I'm still able to go in the classrooms and interact with all the kids to help them on their school journey!

What would you tell parents considering sending their child(ren) to HFSM School?

• This place is a family. We all take care of one another and take care of our students as if they are one of our very own.

What is your favorite Bible Verse?

• Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Fun Fact?

• My first job was working for a researcher's assistant studying bees and sunflowers. ​​​​

A Message From Our Administrator:

Greetings Future HFSM Families,

It is an honor to introduce myself as the principal of Holy Family - St. Mary’s School! I hope this note finds you well!     

I have been teaching for 19 years in various grade levels with nine of them being at HFSM. In addition to being an educator, I am first and foremost a mother and wife. Our twins Adelyn and Owen, will be starting fourth grade at HFSM this fall while their older brother Lukas, will start seventh grade at Sacred Heart. My husband Ed has been an important part of our school community as a previous school board member as well as, helping us with technology in the school in his free time from his job with the Attorney General's Office of ND.
Our goal is to continue the tradition of faith and excellence here at HFSM. We are committed to exploring new ways to meet the needs of all students and to effectively communicate with parents and community members. HFSM has been my home for many years and I feel so blessed to be able to continue my work in an administrative role as we continue to grow and improve in our future. I am so excited for the opportunities it will bring for your child at our small but mighty school! With all of us working together, we will be able to accomplish anything! “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!” Psalm 133:1. 

In closing, please know that my door is always open to you. I heartily welcome your conversation and positive input throughout the year. Let us always keep our students and God the primary focus of our work. I am honored to be able to work in such an outstanding school and I look forward to many more years of success together!

God Bless,

​Amanda Carter

Principal
