GASTONIA — Jacob Nolan of Billerica, Massachusetts, has been named headmaster at St. Michael School. Nolan has served for the past two years as assistant principal of Lumen Verum Academy in the Archdiocese of Boston. He obtained a master’s of theology from Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio.
In 2022, Nolan successfully completed the Institute of Catholic Liberal Education’s Aspiring School Leaders program.
“His passion for the Catholic Liberal Arts, combined with his years of classroom teaching and leadership qualities, will inaugurate an exciting new chapter in the history of our parish school,” said Father Lucas Rossi, pastor of St. Michael Parish.
“I entered the field of education because I greatly desired to share with students the ‘pearl of great price’ I had discovered: the incredible joy and freedom of a life lived with Jesus Christ,” Nolan said. “I am thrilled to be joining St. Michael Catholic School as headmaster.”
Lifelong Catholics, Nolan and his wife, Megan, have two sons, Ambrose and Augustine.
