MALDEN CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL APPOINTS NEW HEADMASTER

Thomas Doherty, Former Headmaster of St. Bernard School, Uncasville, CT

MALDEN, MA (February 6, 2014) - Malden Catholic High School announced today that Thomas J. Doherty III has been named by the Board of Trustees as the school’s next Headmaster.  Doherty’s term begins on July 1, 2014 when current Headmaster Edward C. Tyrrell retires after five years of successful leadership at MC.   

Doherty has served since 2011 as Headmaster of Saint Bernard School, a Catholic, Xaverian, grades 6 through 12 school in Uncasville, Connecticut.  During his time at St. Bernard School, Doherty strengthened the school’s fiscal management, enhanced enrollment and expanded the endowment.  Previously, Doherty was Dean of Mission and Advancement with Lowell Catholic High School.  In that capacity, he managed and implemented all fundraising, was responsible for outreach to major donors and community leaders, served as a liaison to the Archdiocese of Boston and to Xaverian Brothers Sponsored Schools, and worked with finance and admissions in planning to reach major goals.
