I am delighted to introduce myself to you as the Assistant Principal of Congress Park School beginning next school year! With 17 years of educational experience, I am enthusiastic to partner with you in creating beautiful and safe learning spaces.

Professionally, I have served in various roles in the Chicagoland area and have built my leadership capacities through roles as a bilingual and foreign language teacher, a middle school science and math instructor and an after school coach. I have secured grants on multiple occasions in my career and I have worked to earn Master’s degrees in School Leadership as well as in Curriculum and Instruction. Personally, I enjoy jogging, reading and learning about other cultures and languages. 

In my upcoming role, I will learn and grow beside CP educators and families. I look forward to practicing compassion and to applying what I learn from my colleagues’ valuable professional experiences. Overall, I am excited to share my zeal for collaboration and exceptional leadership with the Congress Park community!

Respectfully, 
Catherine Rodriguez
