Diocese of Wilmington names David Stofa new principal
at Most Blessed Sacrament School in Berlin, Md.

DearMost Blessed Sacrament Catholic School Community,

I am truly honored and excited to introduce myself as the new Principal of Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School. Stepping into this role is both a privilege and a blessing, and I look forward to working in partnership with all of you to continue the tradition of academic excellence, faith formation, and community spirit that makes this school such a special place.

My name is David P. Stofa, and I bring with me more than 30 years of experience in education, having served in a variety of roles across both instructional and administrative leadership. Most recently, I served as the Principal of North Dorchester High School, a position I’ve held since 2020. Before that, I had the opportunity to serve as Talbot County’s Director of Athletics, School Safety and Security, and Transportation Manager. Over the years, I’ve been Principal at Easton High School, Easton Elementary, and Greensboro Elementary, and began my career as an elementary school teacher in Grades 1, 4, and 5.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Salisbury University and a Master of Arts in School Administration from Bowie State University. I also maintain Advanced Professional Certification licenses in Administration I and II, Reading Instruction, and Special Education. In addition, I am ALICE trained and certified in active assailant response, and have served as a School Improvement Chair, as well as a youth coach throughout my career.

But beyond the degrees and titles, I am a husband, a father, and a person of deep faith. My wife, Tammy, and I have been members of Saints Peter & Paul Church in Easton, MD, for more than 40 years. Together, we raised three sons—McCarthy, Brogan, and Keaghan—in the Catholic faith, two of whom graduated from St. Mary’s High School in Annapolis. My own Catholic education began in Silver Spring, MD, and I graduated from St. John’s College High School in Washington, DC. Catholic education has been a guiding influence in both my personal and professional life.

As a parent, I understand firsthand the hopes and dreams you carry for your children. I am committed to helping our students grow not only academically, but also spiritually, emotionally, and morally in the Catholic tradition. Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School has a well-earned reputation for excellence, and I am excited to build on that foundation—working alongside our dedicated teachers, staff, parents, and parish leaders to support every student in reaching their fullest God-given potential.

I also recognize that our community has experienced a great deal of transition in recent years. I understand the importance of stability, trust, and personal connection, and I want to assure you that I am here with a full heart and a long-term commitment to this school and its mission. I look forward to being a visible, engaged, and approachable leader—someone you’ll come to know and trust.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing updates about the upcoming school year, including important dates and any staffing changes. Mark your calendars for MBS’s Open House/New Family Orientation on August 28th from 4–6 pm. Come and meet your teachers, drop off school supplies, and enjoy a community meal sponsored by the HSA. Please note that the school day will begin at 8:00 a.m. this year. I encourage you to reach out, introduce yourself, and share your hopes for this year and beyond.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I am truly excited for this new chapter in our shared journey. Together, with faith and purpose, we can do great things.

With gratitude and anticipation,

David P. Stofa

Principal
