Christ The Redeemer (CTR) Catholic Schools is pleased to announce, Mrs. Diana Atkinson as Associate Superintendent of Corporate Services.

Mrs. Atkinson brings a wealth of leadership experience across the full K–12 continuum, including her service at Holy Trinity Academy and as the founding principal of St. Francis of Assisi Academy. Through these roles, she helped build strong, faith-filled school cultures and gained deep, practical expertise in school operations, facilities planning, and financial stewardship in support of student learning. Her proven ability to lead with integrity, vision, and a relationship-based approach positions her well to support our schools and division in the Associate Superintendent of Corporate Services role. 

Mrs. Atkinson shares, “I am deeply grateful and honored to accept the role of Associate Superintendent of Corporate Services with Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools. I have been blessed to serve alongside exceptional staff and school communities across the full K–12 continuum, including my time serving Holy Trinity Academy and St. Francis of Assisi Academy. Together, we built strong, faith-filled school cultures and learning environments, and I was privileged to work collaboratively in all aspects of school operations, facilities planning, and financial stewardship in support of student learning. I am profoundly thankful for the people and communities I have served, and I look forward to continuing to support our schools, staff, and students in a broader capacity as we work together in service of our shared mission of Catholic faith, academic excellence, and healthy schools.” 

Superintendent Dr. Andrea Holowka shares, “Mrs. Atkinson’s extensive leadership experience, deep commitment to Catholic leadership, and dedication to excellence equip her well to support the full scope of responsibilities required of an Associate Superintendent. I am confident in her ability to serve and lead Christ The Redeemer Catholic Schools with integrity, particularly in the areas of fiscal and facility stewardship. Her long-term vision, strong attention to operational detail, and relationship-based strengths will complement and further strengthen the work of senior administration within our high-performing division.”
