Welcome!

I am thrilled and blessed to be the Principal of Sts. Philip and James School.  

As a product of Catholic Schooling, I have happily devoted my teaching career to Catholic Education.  I received my Master of Science in School Administration from St. John's University in 2012 and my Bachelor of Science in Education from Buffalo State College in 1991.  I graduated from Mt. St Mary's Academy in 1985 and attended Holy Cross Elementary School.  I previously taught at Our Lady of Wisdom Regional School, Blessed Sacrament and Catholic Academy of West Buffalo.  And yes, I am originally from Buffalo.

I have been a member of the Sts. Philip and James School Faculty since 2010.  During this time I have had the privilege of teaching Pre-Kindergarten and being involved in Sign Language, Drama, Chorus, Cheer, and Gesture Clubs along with Morning and Aftercare Programs.

I have worked with talented, dedicated teachers, staff members, and parents who have enlightened me with knowledge, wisdom, and faith.  I look forward to working with the Sts. Philip and James community in continuing to make our school a safe, fun, loving, faith-filled institution that serves the Lord while continuing the tradition of academic excellence.

I am also excited to be a part of our new Early Childhood Program which welcomes the littlest Apostles of Hope.  It will be a blessing to watch them grow in their faith and excel socially and academically.  I look forward to the growth of our Academy and the continuous success of our Middle School students.  I encourage and welcome all parents to share their time and talents with our wonderful school community.

So once again, WELCOME!  I look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your family in the love of Christ.

Blessings,

Diane Anderson
Principal
