Mrs. Susan Lynch, Director of Development for the Parish and School

As of January 1, 2025, I serve as the Director of Development for the School and the Parish.  Prior to this role, I served as the Director of Communications since July of 2018. I love being a part of the talented team at the school and at the parish!

I started my career as an analyst in the real estate department of Continental Bank in Chicago. Upon moving to Dallas, I moved into the non-profit world and worked for the Salesmanship Club of Dallas for 8 years in fundraising as the Sales and Sponsorship Manager for the Byron Nelson Golf Classic. 

I officially joined the St. Rita school staff in March of 2010 in a part time role as School Development Director under Dr. Elena Hines, but my history with St. Rita goes back to 1996 when my husband, Dennis, and I joined the parish. I am a native of Atlanta, GA where I attended St. Jude Catholic School and then Marist High School. I received a B.A. from the University of Notre Dame in 1991. Dennis was born and raised in Dallas and attended St. Rita and then Jesuit. We met at Notre Dame and married in 1995. I have three grown children who graduated from St. Rita, so I am a proud alumni parent, as well. When I am not working, I enjoy exercising, watching sports, reading, traveling and spending time with family and friends!
