Karen Tichy, archdiocesan associate superintendent for instruction, has been a member of the Catholic Education Office for almost 20 years and holds a doctorate in educational administration from St. Louis University. When the Department of Special Education, formerly a separate archdiocesan agency, joined the Catholic Education Office in summer 2008, she took over administrative duties, overseeing day-to-day operations. George Henry, superintendent of Catholic education, is executive director.
“We serve almost 50,000 students in our Catholic schools,” Tichy said. “About 10 percent of our students in Catholic education have diagnosed special needs that affect their learning process. The mission of the Special Education Department is to provide quality education, success in life and a living faith for children with special learning needs.”
