MANY OF OUR Catholic schools in the Diocese of Orange welcomed new principals this year. Orange County Catholic thought it would be fun to get to know our new fearless leaders by asking them a few pressing questions:
JENNIFER JUKIC/OUR LADY OF FATIMA ACADEMY, SAN CLEMENTE

How long have you been in the education field? Started teaching in 1999 but started volunteering as a teen for my sister’s special education classroom and my elementary school’s summer program.
What are you most excited about/top goal as you begin the new school year? I am most excited to transform something that is good into something that is not great, but fabulous!

I have also adopted some new curriculum to enhance our academics and clean up the campus to show the real beauty it is in the gorgeous city of San Clemente.
