The Regina Catholic Education Center has hired a new Head of School.
According to a news release from the Regina school board, Joy M. Kelly has been named to the position following an extensive national search. Kelly served as Regina Junior and Senior High School principal from 1995-1999. The University of Iowa graduate has also been the principal at Bettendorf High School since 2016 following 13 years as associate principal.
Kelly has also previously taught at Linn-Mar High School in Marion, and was Director of Evangelization for the Iowa City Catholic Community.
Following venue and event format changes due to COVID-19, the 2021 IHSAA State Swimming Championships are now scheduled for Saturday, February 13 at Linn-Mar High School in Marion.
Next month’s meet had previously been set for a two-day preliminary and final format at the University of Iowa’s Campus Recreation and Wellness Center.
Due to capacity limitations, spectators will not be permitted at any IHSAA postseason swimming event. State meet and state qualifying meet attendance is limited to participants, event staff, administrators and coaches, and approved media members.
“We’re grateful to Linn-Mar for stepping up as an able and willing host school for the 2021 IHSAA State Swimming Championships,” IHSAA executive director Tom Keating said.
