Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory (SHC) in San Francisco, CA, has appointed Brother Ronald Gallagher, FSC, Ph.D., as interim president effective August 1, 2014. Brother Ronald brings to the role eight and a half years of experience as president of Saint Mary’s College of California (SMC) in Moraga and will lead SHC for one year while the search for a permanent leader is conducted.
“Sacred Heart Cathedral is an outstanding school. I look forward to working with the entire SHC community in furthering the Lasallian Vincentian mission in San Francisco,” said Brother Ronald in this press release from Saint Mary’s College.
