Nativity Academy Board Announces New Executive Director

---

Nativity Academy at St. Boniface’s Board of Directors is overjoyed to announce Meghan Weyland as their new Executive Director. In what the Nativity community considers a homecoming of sorts, Meghan returns to serve in this leadership position after being a teacher and then principal at Nativity from 2008 through 2015 as well as a board member the previous 2 years. 

“I believe an excellent Catholic education should be available to all families, no matter their financial means. In fact, the research shows time and again that the benefits of a Catholic education are exponentially realized by kids from families who may not be able to pay typical tuition costs. God has showed me time again that serving at Nativity, where this belief is a living reality, is my professional vocation. I feel privileged and joyful to be returning home as Nativity’s Executive Director.”

Meghan is originally from Hastings, Minnesota and has resided in Louisville since 2008. She holds a Bachelor of Arts, Master of Education, and Master of Arts in Educational Administration, all from the University of Notre Dame and its Alliance for Catholic Education. She and her husband Kent have 4 children, and are proud parishioners and school parents at St. Francis of Assisi in The Highlands.

Nativity Academy at St. Boniface’s Board of Directors is excited to announce Andrea Peavler as the new Principal. Andrea has been in the Archdiocese of Louisville schools for 19 years. In her previous school, Mercy Academy, she was fortunate to teach and work with Nativity graduates as a teacher and Assistant Principal, and was always impressed with how prepared, respectful, and hard-working the students were.

"I started at Nativity this school year as an Instructional Coach, and was then asked to be the interim Principal at the end of November. I have enjoyed every moment of being in this school. The faculty and staff are some of the best I have ever come across in my 19 years of education. Our Board, committees, sponsors, community partnerships, and families are devoted and committed to the mission of Nativity; their support is endless for our family-like community that resides here.I am humbled and extremely honored to have been selected to be the Principal, as I feel this is already my home!”

Andrea is from Louisville, Kentucky and comes from a strong Catholic faith-based family. She holds a Bachelor of Arts, Master of Education, and Masters of Arts in Educational Administration, all from Bellarmine University. She and her husband Brad have 3 children (all who attend Catholic schools) and are members of Our Lady of Lourdes in St. Matthews.
