Staples, Kari

I am excited to be back at Sacred Heart in a different role as Director of Advancement! I have been a part of Catholic education all of my career as both teacher and principal. My husband Chris and I live in New Hope where we will be “empty nesters” in a few short weeks. We are the proud parents of three kids (actually they are all adults); Meghan, Kenzie and Tommy. Meghan and her husband Bailey live in northern Minnesota. Kenzie and her fiancé will be getting married in October. Our son, Tommy, will be heading to St. Olaf to play football. We also have the sweetest Goldendoodle named Dottie who just turned 5! In our spare time, Chris and I love finding the best burger in Minnesota. We also love spending time with friends and family playing cards, especially Cribbage and Cantasta. I’m looking forward to a great year growing our beautiful school!
