Dr. Llewellyn Young Named Hawaii Catholic Schools Superintendent

November 23, 2020

  

Dara Perreira, Director of Human Resources for the Diocese of Honolulu, has shared, "I am pleased to announce that Bishop Larry Silva, in consultation with the Superintendent Search Committee, has appointed Dr. Llewellyn Young as Superintendent of Hawaii Catholic Schools. Dr. Young has been serving as Acting Superintendent since Dr. Michael Rockers retired in late June. Dr. Young has been a tremendous contributor to Hawaii Catholic Schools in his role as both Associate Superintendent and Acting Superintendent. Most notably, during this challenging time of the COVID pandemic, he has helped and supported the preparation and execution of our parochial schools in re-opening face-to-face instruction while strengthening distance learning options. He has been in constant contact with the governmental departments such as the Department of Health, Department of Education and other state and county leadership offices to ensure our commitment to safety and health on campuses. He has also kept abreast of grants and other resources to assist school’s in their new way of operating during this pandemic.

We have also been blessed to have Betsey Gunderson return to the Hawaii Catholic Schools Department to provide support in the Interim Associate Superintendent role. She will leave her post to return to retirement at the completion of the 2020-2021 school year. Dr. Young will be considering how/when to fill the Associate Superintendent position which will be communicated as more information comes forth."

Congratulations Dr. Young!  Thank you Betsey for your continued service to our Catholic Schools!  Let us all pray for Dr. Young and Betsey’s continued guidance and strength through the Holy Spirit as they continue the good work in their roles.
