Basilica School Principal Daniel Cinalli to Step Down as Principal Following This School Year

Earlier this week, Father Edward Hathaway, the Rector of the Basilica, announced that Daniel Cinalli, The Basilica School of Saint Mary Principal since 2019, will be stepping down as principal following this school year. Mr. Cinalli and his wife welcomed their first child this past year and the responsibilities to his family and priorities require a change in his career.

Father Hathaway said that he will be forming a search committee for a new principal and will announce the members once they are confirmed. The search committee will also be guided by Dr. Joseph Vorbach, the Diocesan Superintendent of Catholic Schools, and his team at the diocese to ensure we identify the best possible principal for the school.
