After the 2003 invasion of Iraq, former headmistress Sister Clara, who had been removed by the Iraqi Ministry of Education in 1999 due to her involvement in private tutoring (al-tadrees al-khusosi), which was forbidden in the educational system of Iraq before the 2003 invasion, was able to return to her post.
