GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Notre Dame Academy has named its next president.
New York native, Tom Kiely brings more than 30 years of Catholic education experience to the school. He is currently a consultant for the National Catholic Educational Association.
“We are very excited to welcome Tom Kiely to Notre Dame Academy,” said Alisa Conway, who served as the chair on the search committee and is a Board of Education member. “He is perfectly suited to lead us to the next level in delivering the school’s mission to educate the whole person by developing each student’s Christian faith, commitment to service and full academic potential. We look forward to Tom and his wife, Joan, joining our community.”
Kiely will begin his employment at Notre Dame Academy on July 1, 2020.
“I am honored and excited to become a part of Notre Dame Academy,” Kiely said. “Having had the good fortune to spend time with many members of the NDA and Green Bay communities, I was impressed by the deep affection and commitment so many people have for the school. The opportunity to serve in a leadership role, I believe, will be a productive relationship between my experience and the school’s future. I look forward to getting to know more members of the community.”
Due to social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, a press conference to introduce Kiely as the school’s new president will be held at a later date.
Kiely replaces the school’s former president, Kevin Shaw, who resigned March of 2019. The school’s principal, Patrick Browne, assumed the duties of president while a replacement was found.
