Xaverian Brothers High School is pleased to announce Jacob Conca ’94, Ph.D. will succeed Mr. Domenic Lalli as Principal effective July 1, 2016.
An Attleboro native, Conca was a member of the National Honor Society, football, swimming and track teams at Xaverian. After graduating from Amherst College, he received his M.Ed. from Providence College and his Ph.D. from Boston College. His teaching and coaching experience includes middle school and high school.
“Dr. Conca’s strong academic background, administrative experience and his understanding and support for Xaverian’s unique mission make him well-suited to be our next Principal,” said Headmaster Brother Daniel Skala, C.F.X., Ph.D.
“Dr. Conca is the ideal leader and we are grateful that he’s agreed to come home. He has the knowledge, experience and commitment to build on Mr. Lalli’s legacy and on the excellence and momentum that is carrying the school forward. With his leadership, everything we value about our beloved school will be preserved and enhanced.”
Recent enhancements to Xaverian include a state-of-the-art Scholastic and Wellness Center, cutting-edge athletic fields, a new collegiate inspired academic wing featuring two advanced science labs, and an innovative program for students in grades 7 and 8. All these improvements are supported through the success of the Called to Lead: Campaign for Xaverian, which has raised more than $19 million to date.
Prior to his current role as Principal of St. John’s High School in Shrewsbury, Conca served as Dean of Students at Xaverian from 2003-2007.
Conca currently resides in Grafton with his wife Elizabeth, and their daughters, Emma (10), Chloe (9), and Finley (6).
