Eagles return to classes with new administrators

Lake Leelanau St. Mary enters the 2026-27 school year with new faces in its leadership positions.

St. Mary begins Tuesday, Sept. 8, as one of three schools to start after Labor Day.

“The biggest thing about this school year is coming with joy and excitement. We can’t wait to get back to school and welcome kids on campus,” Lake Leelanau St. Mary head of school Kelly Coffman said. “There’s such a joy to work and a great privilege in seeing the love of teachers who want to do this, and that is just that beautiful witness to catholic education and privilege.”
