Holy Family Academy of Van Zandt County, located in Canton, Texas, is searching for a principal for the 2025-26 school year. The school is organized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation in Texas and is managed by a Board of Catholic lay people. The school serves pre-K thru 4th grade, and 2025-26 will be the 3rd year of operation. Current 2024-25 enrollment is 15 students.
The school is independent of the Catholic Diocese of Tyler, but officially recognized as a Catholic school by the Texas Catholic Council of Bishops.
