BATAVIA – The Notre Dame Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the appointment of two school administrators. Effective July 1, both Lindsay Warner and Julia Rogers will take on key leadership roles for the school.

Warner has been appointed principal of Notre Dame Junior/ Senior High School. Rogers has been appointed as the director of instruction, curriculum and assessment.

“As an alumnus and trustee, I am thrilled that we have such passionate and experienced educators leading our fine school,” said Jim Sutherland, Board President. “The board has every confidence that their deep experience, coupled with their commitment to the highest standards will help our institution reach another level entirely. With these hires, the Trustees strongly feel that we are investing in the bright future of our school.”

As an alumnus, coach, teacher, parent and administer of ND, Warner has the dedication, compassion and commitment to ensure the success of all students and staff.  She holds a BS in Business Administration, an MS in Business and Marketing Education and is NYS certified as a school building leader and district leader.

After undergraduate school, Warner returned to her alma mater were she rejuvenated the business program and curriculum, winning awards for her innovation and instruction. Her tenure at Western NY Tech Academy also demonstrates her initiative as an educator and supports her dedication to team work, as well as her support of leadership in marketing, recruitment and culture building.

This past school year, Warner served as Notre Dame’s assistant principal. As principal, she will continue her commitment to ensuring an environment where students and staff feel valued, heard and safe.

A native Batavian, Julia Rogers’ family has been part of Notre Dame community since the beginning. Her mother, Sheila Tehan Rogers, was part of our very first graduating class. Her father, Brad, coached basketball at ND.  She has had siblings, a niece, nephews and many cousins that have walked the halls and are proud students and alumni of ND.

Rogers’ dedication to the vibrancy of our community is clear. She is a member of Our Lady of Mercy Parish, and enjoys volunteering with her church community, golfing and genealogy. A former volunteer at the NICU at Sisters Hospital, Rogers is a member of the Batavia Rotary Club, Holland Land Office Museum Board of Directors, the Salvation Army Advisory Board, and is involved in many more community outreach programs.

She holds a BA, an MS in Bilingual Education and a Certificate of Advanced Studies. After teaching at the start of her career 30 years ago, she quickly moved on to school administration and has served as an administrator for Batavia Middle School, Coordinator of Assessment and Instruction and the Coordinator for Community School, both at BCS.

Rogers is excited about the opportunity to enhance Notre Dame’s strong academic program.

“I am thrilled to be able to be part of the Notre Dame family,” she said. “The foundation of ND’s instructional program shows the values of education and achievement. I look forward to observing and offering diverse and innovative ways to improve student learning outcomes.”
