Full-Time, Year-Round | Reports to the President
Bishop Feehan High School is a thriving, Catholic, co-educational college preparatory school serving approximately 1,100 students in grades 9–12 in Attleboro, Massachusetts, drawing students from more than 70 different communities. Our community also includes more than 13,000 graduates around the globe. We are in an exciting moment of institutional momentum. Bishop Feehan is investing in innovative academic programming, expanded co-curricular opportunities, long-term facilities development, and a growing culture of belonging — and we are looking for a strategic communications leader to help tell that story.
Position Overview
