Holy Spirit High School, Absecon, has a new principal.
On June 20, it was announced that Bishop Dennis Sullivan had appointed Michael C. McGhee as principal, effective immediately. McGhee succeeds Dr. Tom Farren, who served as Holy Spirit High School’s principal for five years.
McGhee, a Class of 1988 graduate, said he was excited to be returning to his alma mater.
“My belief as an administrator and educator is that we should want all of our students to succeed in life. What’s more is that the success of every student we have contributes to the success of the entire community,” he said. “I am also looking forward to supporting the already great work of the faculty and staff of Holy Spirit and continuing that work and tradition, challenged by Pope Francis, to educate our students with a value-based Catholic education.”
McGhee comes to Holy Spirit with 21 years of experience in administration within the Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District, most recently serving as principal of Oakcrest High School, Mays Landing. He also served for six years as the supervisor of special education and two years as vice principal at Oakcrest. He served in a variety of roles at Cedar Creek High School, Egg Harbor City, including as assistant principal and athletic director. He and his family are members of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla Parish, Northfield.
Dr. Bill Watson, superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Camden, said he was pleased to welcome McGhee “to the ministry of Catholic secondary education in the Diocese. … We are blessed and delighted to have someone with the depth and breadth of education and experience that Mr. McGhee brings. I know that he will find tremendous support from the Board of Trustees, the faculty and members of the administrative team, the Holy Spirit community, as well as the Catholic community of Atlantic County.”
