Meet Our Staff

Jennifer (Jenny) Haller will join St. Bartholomew Catholic School as the Interim Principal on July 5, 2022. She most recently served as the Principal Outreach Coordinator and as the Director of Excellence at the Catholic Schools Center of Excellence (CSCOE) which supports the 78 Catholic schools in the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul area to grow in excellence and enrollment. Prior to her work at CSCOE, she served as the PK-8 principal at St. Michael Catholic School in St. Michael for 16 years. 

In addition to her service in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, Mrs. Haller has worked as a national educational consultant in school improvement initiatives, served as a district curriculum development coordinator, and she has taught at all levels from primary grades through graduate (teacher) education. 

Jenny earned her K-12 principal licensure in the state of Minnesota and holds a MS degree in Curriculum and Instruction and a BA in Elementary Education. She is also a proud graduate of the Archbishop Harry J. Flynn Catechetical Institute. Recognizing the importance of continuous school improvement, she served on the Board of Directors for the Minnesota Non-Public Schools Accrediting Association (MNSAA), and she is currently on the President’s Council for Sacred Heart School in East Grand Forks, MN.

Fostering strong Catholic identity and academic excellence by supporting teachers and championing student performance in a joy-filled community has been her happiest professional responsibility as a principal. She is blessed to continue her vocation at St. Bart’s.

An active parishioner at St. Michael Catholic Church, Jenny enjoys flower gardening, traveling, and spending time with her husband, three adult children and their spouses, and especially her 2-year-old granddaughter.
