As an active member in her parish, an Administrator in the Diocese of Sacramento for 6 years, and a classroom teacher for over 20 years, it is with much motivation and grace Mrs. Flores wishes to bring her vision of Catholic Identity to St. Paul School.

She believes that the philosophy of Catholic identity and its relationship to academic excellence, is “in every aspect of my life. My actions, my word, my relationships, how I view myself and how I am viewed by others speak of my Catholic faith. I try to live...every day to be a witness to Christ. I will lead by example and foster Catholic Identity in my students, the faculty and staff, parents, and the community as we walk side by side with Christ. Developing a strong Catholic identity must include a complete academic curriculum that embodies our faith. As students begin to understand their purpose in the world, become rooted in their faith and desire to become true Disciples of Christ, they must also become critical thinkers, reach their academic potential and be good citizens”

Mrs. Flores earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies and teaching credential from California State University, East Bay, and a Master’s Degree in Educational Administration.

Mrs. Flores shared, “I appreciate the rich traditions and esteemed reputation of St. Paul’s and I have great expectations for our future. My vision is to work collaboratively with all stakeholders to strengthen our Catholic faith and the rigorous academics St. Paul School already possesses as well as developing new opportunities to enrich our school, parish and students.”

Office Manager/Bookkeeper

Rosalia Lara-McMaster, known to Panthers as Ms. Lia, has been a part of the St. Paul Church and school community all of her life. Her family joined the church in the 1950’s when her father moved to California from Mexico. He began his family and ensured his children were in a safe and faith filled environment by having them baptized at St. Paul Church and enrolling them in St. Paul School. Ms. Lia graduated from St. Paul after attending 1st -8th grade and then went on to graduate from Salesian High School. After graduating from CCC she transferred to UC Berkley to major in Psychology. Ms. Lia began her own family and when the time came, she knew that SPS was the place for her own four children.

After volunteering in many capacities including leading the first SPS Room Parent team, Ms. Lia was asked to join the St. Paul staff in the office as an assistant. She was then asked to take on the accounting as well. Later Ms. Lia was asked to wear another hat and assist in subbing as the Art and PE teacher. After subbing she was asked to join the 3rd grade team as the instructional assistant and return to help with accounting. Next Ms. Lia joined the TK team as an instructional assistant and then the substitute teacher. Ms. Lia was then asked to return to the office yet again, this time as the office manager and bookkeeper where she works with the students, families, teachers, staff, administration, church and LCA team.

"SPS is home for me and my family and I want everyone who joins St. Paul to feel safe, secure, and loved in a place where our faith is celebrated and our differences embraced. Change is part of life and I have seen much of it over my many years at SPS. It is something we should not look upon with fear or anger. Staying positive and being part of change for the better is important. If we can adapt and change so will our students, our leaders of tomorrow."
