All—Mike has asked that we send the following to the Kennedy Catholic community today. Fyi: Kennedy Catholic High School is pleased to announce Mr. Rommel Buenafe will join the staff as Director of Finance in July. Mr. Buenafe has over 20 years of experience in non-profit and for-profit organizations leading finance operations. Most recently, he has held a similar position at Bishop Blanchet High School. His responsibilities will include budget management, tuition assistance, strategic and operational financial reporting and analysis, facilities oversight, among others. Rommel is an outstanding professional and we are blessed he has chosen to bring his tremendous talents and gifts to Kennedy Catholic. His son, RJ, will be a junior at Kennedy Catholic this fall. Mr. Buenafe will replace Mr. Paul Poginy who has served in a similar role for over 40 years at Kennedy Catholic. Paul is transitioning to a part-time position in facilities and will continue to oversee the remodel of the school and addition of the athletic field. We are humbled by Paul’s lifelong dedication to the school. His list of accomplishments and accolades is long and we are blessed he has chosen to stay with us part-time before transitioning into retirement. Please join us in welcoming Mr. Buenafe and thanking Mr. Poginy for his decades of service. Amy Hall Director of Advancement John F.
