Rita Hayes
Director of Admissions and Marketing

How long have you been a part of the SUA community?
This year marks my 10th school year at St. Ursula Academy.

What is your position/affiliation to SUA?
Director of Admissions and Marketing and proud SUA parent to Mia '26 and Lola '28

What are you most proud of being affiliated with SUA?
SUA is authentically dedicated to serving its students. I see it every day. From Mary or Boo in the front office helping students troubleshoot to the teachers lending extra help, there is a common thread of going the extra mile for our Arrows.

What SUA Core Value is most meaningful to you, and why?
That's a tie between Care of the Individual and Leadership. Each student is embraced for who she is and will become. It's not just something we say, but something ingrained in our culture. On a personal note, the Leadership Program has greatly impacted my oldest daughter. It has been incredible to see her self-confidence and sense of self improve.
