Dr. Francisco E. Plaza is the Chair of the Catholic Culture Department at Cathedral High School. He earned his doctorate in Philosophy at the Center for Thomistic Studies, and he received a bachelor’s degree in both Philosophy and Mathematics from Palm Beach Atlantic University.

During his graduate career, Dr. Plaza taught for several years at both the undergraduate and high school levels, primarily in Philosophy. Dr. Plaza is a parishioner at Our Lady of Walsingham and a member of the Ordinariate along with his wife, Allison, and their three daughters, Amber, Olivia, and Eva.
