WILLIAM HELLER,
Principal

William Heller, born in Florida, grew up in Connecticut. He attended Watertown High School in New Haven, Connecticut. He graduated with a B.A. from George Washington University. He earned a Master's Degree from Barry University, Miami, another Master's from John Hopkins in Baltimore, and a third Master's at the University of Connecticut.

He has taught English, American History, United States Government, Foreign Policy, Latin and Sociology. He served as Department Chairman at schools in the Archdiocese of Washington, Baltimore and Miami; and in the Miami Archdiocese schools he served as Director of Student Activities, Schools Coordinator, Assistant Principal and Principal. He became Principal of St. Joseph School in July 2000.

"I believe the strongest reason why St. Joseph Catholic School is so special is the family atmosphere which exists at the school. St. Joe is a school where people matter, where individuals receive attention, where parent participation is valued, where a community is there to support each other in times of need and to cheer each other in times of success. All that we do we do in an atmosphere of respect - respect for God, respect for authority, respect for the person, respect for the self and respect for property."
