A New Principal for Father Judge High School

Mrs. Patricia Rooney

On July 30, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s Office of Catholic Education announced that Mrs. Patricia Rooney has been appointed the new Principal of Father Judge High School, effective August 25, 2025.

Mrs. Rooney comes to Father Judge from her current role as Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Schools and brings with her more than 30 years of experience in education, including over a decade in leadership positions.

Founded by the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales in 1954, Father Judge High School continues to be rooted in Salesian Spirituality, with several Oblates ministering at the school today, helping students “be who they are and be that well.” (St. Francis de Sales)

The Oblates of St. Francis de Sales warmly congratulate Mrs. Rooney on her appointment and hold her in prayer as she prepares for this new chapter of leadership at Father Judge.
