Catholic Memorial Names New President

 

Lewis currently serves as the principal of Boston College High School, where he is in his sixth year. He brings with him 25 years of Catholic high school education experience, the vast majority of which was spent in all-boys schools.

Prior to BC High, Lewis was principal at Loyola School in Manhattan. His international experience includes schools in Ireland, London and his native Australia. Adam graduated from the Australian National University with degrees in history and psychology and the University of Canberra with a graduate diploma in education.

When Lewis came to Massachusetts, he earned a Master’s Degree in Applied Developmental and Educational Psychology from Boston College. From there he went to St. Ignatius’ College, Riverview in Sydney, Australia as vice-principal of students. He then headed to Xavier College in Melbourne as Head of Senior School (principal) before coming back to the United States as principal at Loyola. He is currently enrolled at Harvard, where he is studying for a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership.

 

In his extensive career, Lewis has experienced many different educational environments, which included working at schools with populations ranging from 250 students to 1,600 students. He discerned that he wanted to lead a smaller, all-boys Catholic school. He decided that CM was the ideal situation, and our Search Committee determined that he met all the established criteria.

 

Lewis will finish up the academic year at BC High and join CM full-time in July.
