Lisa Timmerding has been selected to serve as the new principal of Notre Dame Academy. She will assume the role from Principal Jack VonHandorf, who is retiring at the end of the school year.
“Lisa is a dynamic, mission-driven leader who brings both professional expertise and personal connection to her new role,” said Jane Kleier, who currently serves as interim president for the school, in a press release. “As an alumna, she understands firsthand the transformative power of a Notre Dame Academy education. She is deeply rooted in our [Sisters of Notre Dame] charism, and I am confident she will continue to lead our school with vision, compassion and purpose.”
Timmerding graduated from the academy in 1997. She has a master’s degree in education from Northern Kentucky University and formerly served as the principal of Holy Cross Elementary School in Latonia.
She has been working at Notre Dame Academy for the past two years as the assistant principal for student life. In the past, she has also worked as a teacher and a curriculum development professional.
“We are incredibly blessed to be passing the torch to a leader who brings continuity, enthusiasm and a deep love for Notre Dame Academy,” Kleier said.
