Anne Willkens Leach has been named the new superintendent of schools for the Rochester Catholic Diocese.

Willkens Leach will take over a school system that's gone through sweeping changes in 2008. Bishop Matthew Clark and the Diocese decided to close 13 Catholic schools in Monroe County, citing declining enrollment. Many of those schools had their final day of classes this past week.

Willkens Leach has worn many hats since she began as a teacher at Monroe BOCES #1 in 1979. She is currently the prinicpal of both Nazareth Hall Middle School in Penfield, and Nazareth Academy in Rochester.
