We were fortunate enough to have Peggy Walker as principal the 9 years our daughter attended HRA. In 2004 Peggy hired me on staff at HRA and being guided under her leadership was a joy. She has a way of uniting people for the good of the school with her endless positivity and enthusiasm. She is a gift and blessing to our Holy Rosary community. May God bless her always!

I had the privilege of contacting Peggy Walker to see if she would be willing to be the Honoree of Holy Rosary’s Fall Festival. Upon answering the phone, Peggy stated, “Yes, Diana, I’ll bake something.” With caller ID she saw my name and immediately volunteered to help before a request was even made. This is Peggy. Always ready to volunteer, serve, help and support. Always with a smile. Thank you for all your wonderful years of service and your friendship.

Peggy, you were the first person to hire me as a teacher and I will be forever grateful for that opportunity. I believe you had more confidence in me than I had in myself at the time and you helped me to become a better teacher. I am thrilled to know that you are being honored, but hate to know I’ll miss the festivities. Know of my love, respect, and prayers for you. Wishing you all the best, dear friend!
Charlotte Masek
P.S. Steven and Laura send their congratulations as well!

Peggy, you have no idea how much it has meant to our family, your finding not 1, but 2 spaces for my twin grandsons, when 1st grade classrooms were already filled. I know the years of dealing with them were not easy, ha, but you were an answer to a prayer.
I'm forever grateful for your kindnesses! Love you, Margie (Spray) Raymer.

Peggy,
There is no one more deserving of this honor. Anyone who knows you knows your love for Holy Rosary Academy, and the students and their families. Thank you for all you have done over the years and for the kindness you have shown to our family. Love and prayers for you, dear friend.

Dear Peggy,     Congratulations! A wonderful, well-deserved honor for an amazing woman, educator, and administrator. Your love for HRA and the community was, and still is, remarkable. I know am just one of many people you inspired to become an educator.  From encouraging me to get a MLIS degree, proofing papers, and supporting your faculty and staff with a passion, to your unwavering support of our library program, your endless commitment to education, especially Catholic education, is an inspiration. Watching you lead with compassion and attentiveness taught me so much about education, children, and life. As a parent of two boys that graduated from HRA, our family never felt more welcome and loved at a school. The doors at HRA were always open. I remember parents coming in and out to decorate doors and bulletin boards, put together festivals and auctions, coach HRA teams, make dinners, and so much more. Those were happy times, as we all felt a part of an amazing community and something much bigger. You made sure we were and felt appreciated, whether it was a note, a small token, or a simple thank you, you never forgot to recognize others for their work. We never minded putting in the hours because you were right there with us, putting in twice as many! Thank you for all you have done for me and my family over the years. Your caring, love, and kindness will never, ever be forgotten.           Love, Cheri McGowan
