Jesuit high school gets new principal
Charlie Saulino has been appointed principal of Regis Jesuit High School, according to Jesuit Father Wally Sidney, Regis President.
Saulino has been with Regis for 21 years, having served as teacher, assistant principal and interim principal during that time. He oversees a staff of four assistant principals and administrators and is responsible for all academic needs of Regis. Prior to coming to the school, he spent 11 years as a math teacher at several public high schools in Denver.
"After conducting a national search for this position, we determined that Charlie Saulino was the most highly qualified candidate for the job," said Father Sidney. "Over the course of his tenure here, he has proven to be a capable administrator who works well with faculty and has a great love for kids. He successfully led the school as interim principal over the last year, and is extremely deserving of this promotion."
The teaching environment is what Saulino said attracted him to the school more than two decades ago.
"It's a place that enables teachers to teach and students to learn," Saulino said. "What has kept me here is the close-knit Regis community — the connection and support of students, parents, teachers and administrators."
Saulino received his bachelor of arts degree from Regis College and his masters of education degree from Lesley College. A Denver native, he attended local Catholic elementary and secondary schools.
Regis is currently embarked on a capital campaign that will result in the construction of a new school for boys and the creation of a separate, all-girls division. When its expansion plans are complete, Regis will remain one institution with one board of trustees and one president. The divisions will operate as two separate and distinct entities with each school having its own principal, administrative team, faculty and staff.
The expanded campus will include 850 young men in a new facility. The current facility will be modified and will eventually house 750 young women. A search is currently underway for the principal of the girls division. The expanded campus is expected to open in August 2003.
Established in 1877, more than 800 students from throughout the Denver area currently attend the school, which is located near the intersection of Arapahoe and Parker roads in Aurora.
