McNicholas High School Names New Principal: Paul Romolo

McNicholas High School Names New Principal: Paul Romolo

We are pleased to welcome Mr. Paul Romolo as the Principal of McNicholas High School. 

Mr. Romolo brings 17 years of experience in Catholic education, all of which have been at McNicholas. He has demonstrated leadership in a variety of roles including Classical Languages Teacher, World Languages Department Chair, CREW Dean, Educational Technology Liaison, Strategic Planning Academic Excellence Committee Co-Chair, OCSAA Licensing Liaison, and Kairos Retreat Director. His wide-ranging contributions reflect his deep commitment to the school's mission and its students. 

“I believe Paul will be an exceptional educational leader for our school," President Bob Noll said. "He is well respected among the faculty and his extensive involvement across many facets of McNicholas makes him uniquely qualified to lead our Catholic community. I look forward to working closely with him to help our students and community thrive.”

Mr. Romolo earned both his B.A. and M.Ed. from Xavier University and recently completed the Archdiocese of Cincinnati's Aspiring Leaders Program, which instructs prospective leaders on the essential responsibilities, skills, challenges, and rewards associated with school administration. 

"In getting to know Paul through the Aspiring Leaders Program, I always thought he would be a wonderful principal," Director of Leadership Development and Professional Growth for the Archdiocese, Sharon Willmes, said. "He is deeply committed to Catholic education and will be a tremendous asset to your school." 

Mr. Romolo and his wife Kate have two children who attend Immaculate Heart of Mary School, where the family are also parishioners. In his free time, Mr. Romolo enjoys reading, watching football, playing disc golf, and hiking. 

Welcome, Principal Romolo! 

    A Friendship Without Borders: McNicholas Celebrates Its First Sister School Exchange with Argentina

    Nine McNicholas students traveled to Buenos Aires this summer for the school's first Sister School Exchange with Instituto Nuestra Señora de Las Nieves, building on friendships formed when Argentine students visited McNicholas earlier this year. Through living with host families, attending classes, and experiencing Argentina's rich culture and history, students discovered that the most meaningful lessons come from stepping beyond their comfort zones and embracing connections that transcend borders.
