Jeane McNamara, SHRM-CP

Appointed Permanent High School Principal, November 2022 Excerpt from the Message sent by Academy of the Holy Names President, Mr. Kevin Whitney: "During Jeane’s first 3 months since starting officially in July (as Interim Principal), she has done a marvelous job quickly learning about and decisively addressing the immediate needs of the high school faculty, programs, students, and parents. In doing so, I believe that she has demonstrated tremendous credibility on all fronts of the high school operation and will bring much needed stability for the future. Jeane and I also have a shared vision for how we can strengthen our SNJM values and academic programs, which will be equally informed by the strategic plan, thus I am excited to see how the faculty, staff, students, and programs will continue to grow under her leadership. I have also spent significant time soliciting feedback from various constituents about how the high school has been operating since the start of the year. Overwhelmingly, the feedback I have received from each constituent group was consistently positive and affirmative. So please do join me in congratulating Jeane! The Academy is blessed to have the opportunity to have her on our team and I look forward to many more successes that she and our entire community will realize as we move forward together."
