Candidate Bio - Jessica Richard
What key qualities do you believe you bring to the position of a Catholic School Board Trustee?
I am a passionate advocate for Catholic education and deeply in love with my faith. I believe Catholic schools offer something uniquely powerful to our society: the opportunity to form children not only academically, but in love, dignity, and truth.
What is your vision for Holy Family Catholic Regional Division and Catholic Education in general?
Jesus came for everyone, and I want to ensure that message is lived out in our classrooms. Every child should feel seen, known and loved as Christ loves them and be reminded that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. Catholic education is a vital space where faith, moral formation and academic excellence come together, and I am committed to protecting and promoting that mission.
Is there anything else you'd like the community to know about you?
As a trustee, I will work to ensure that Catholic values remain at the heart of our schools and that every decision supports the spiritual, emotional and educational growth of our students. I want to see our schools remain strong, inclusive communities rooted in tradition and oriented toward Christ.
