Meet the new Catholic school principals

By Florida Catholic staff - Florida Catholic

MIAMI | Four Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Miami welcomed new principals this 2025-26 academic year. The group included three first-time principals and one veteran principal who transferred to a different Catholic school. 

Brief bios of the principals are featured below, in alphabetical order by school.

 

Deontè Green

Cristo Rey High School, North Miami

Born and raised in South Louisiana, Green is an alumnus of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and holds a master’s degree in educational leadership. He is currently completing a doctoral degree in educational leadership.

Green began his career within the Cristo Rey Network at Cristo Rey Baton Rouge Franciscan High School, where he taught mathematics and led the development of programs that supported both academic achievement and social-emotional growth. His early leadership experience included serving as the freshman dean of students, ensuring that students received the guidance and support necessary to thrive.

In 2022, Green relocated to Miami to join the founding team of Cristo Rey Miami High School. Since then, he has helped shape the school’s culture and academic programs, contributing to remarkable student success, most notably leading efforts that resulted in student growth ranking in the 99th percentile on national mathematics assessments. Beyond academics, he has worked tirelessly to create systems of support through initiatives like restorative justice practices, a robust teacher professional development program, and a Response to Intervention (RTI) system that accelerates learning for students with academic challenges.

Green’s leadership is rooted in his belief that every student deserves the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Through his dedication and vision, he hopes Cristo Rey Miami will continue to grow as a community where students not only excel academically but are also prepared to lead meaningful lives beyond high school.

 

Faradjah Muller

Holy Family School, North Miami

Muller is the newly appointed principal at Holy Family Catholic School, bringing over 13 years of experience in education. Born and raised in Haiti, where Gospel values were instilled in her from an early age, she received her formative education at Sainte Rose de Lima before moving to the United States to pursue higher education. She holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and a master’s degree in leadership in education.

Fluent in English, French, Haitian Creole, and Spanish, Muller brings a culturally responsive and multilingual perspective to her work. Her leadership philosophy is both transformational and democratic, grounded in collaboration, empowerment, and a shared vision for excellence.

Throughout her career, Muller has remained deeply committed to creating meaningful, faith-centered learning experiences for every student. Guided by a passion for education and the mission of changing lives — one student at a time — she strives to lead with compassion, vision, and purpose.

As principal, Muller envisions Holy Family Catholic School as a place where all students feel valued, supported, and inspired. She is committed to fostering a nurturing, academically rigorous, and spiritually enriching environment by building a more inclusive curriculum, addressing a range of learning styles, offering a wide array of diversity initiatives, and actively participating in the wider community. She looks forward to partnering with families, staff, and the parish community to help students grow in knowledge, character, and faith, grounded in the love of Christ.

 

David Revezzo

Mary Help of Christians School, Parkland

Revezzo comes to Mary Help of Christians after working at various schools in the Archdiocese of Miami. He is an experienced administrator serving as principal of St. Jerome School in Fort Lauderdale from 2015-2018. Additionally, he has assisted in various roles during his many years at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale.

He attended Florida State University and received a bachelor’s in social science education, and later a master’s in curriculum and instruction from Nova Southeastern. Earlier this year, Revezzo earned a doctorate in leadership from Murray State University.

In addition to his professional qualifications, Revezzo is a product of schools in the Archdiocese of Miami, having attended Nativity School in Hollywood and St. Thomas Aquinas High. His wife, Jennifer, and their three children, are also products of South Florida Catholic schools. Because of this personal experience, his passion for Catholic education is evident. Not a stranger to Mary Help of Christians, Revezzo returns to the school after having served as a middle school teacher in 2019. His vision is to lead the school as it continues striving to reach its fullest potential spiritually and academically by harnessing the strength of this unique community.

 

Renee Sarmiento

St. Andrew School, Coral Springs

Sarmiento is proud to serve as the new principal of St. Andrew School. Born in Bolivia and raised in Venezuela, she is twice an immigrant who made South Florida home over 20 years ago. She holds a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and has experience teaching at both K-12 and higher education levels. Throughout her career, she has served as a teacher, administrator, and instructional leader, always dedicated to Catholic education.

As a servant leader, Sarmiento believes leadership means supporting others and helping each person reach their full potential. She works closely with teachers, staff, and families to build a school community where every child feels valued, challenged, and loved. Fluent in both English and Spanish, she values diversity and strives to create an inclusive environment where all students can succeed.

Catholic education is personal to Sarmiento, not only as an educator but also as a parent. Her son is a proud graduate of Saint Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, so she understands the trust families place in Catholic schools to nurture both faith and learning.

Sarmiento looks forward to partnering with the St. Andrew community to carry its strong traditions forward while helping students grow in both learning and faith.
