Dr. Anthony McLaughlin Named President TK Gorman

TYLER – Tyler’s Bishop Thomas K. Gorman Catholic School has its first president. Bishop Joseph E. Strickland announced last month a new President-Principal administrative structure would be instituted at the school. Bishop Strickland has now announced Father Anthony McLaughlin is the school’s first president. The President-Principal model of leadership is currently the most common form of administration for Catholic secondary schools in the U.S. The President is the chief administrator for the school, who, among other things, appoints the Principal to manage day-to-day school operations and oversee academics, athletics, fine arts and faculty. Father McLaughlin, a native of Belfast, Northern Ireland, was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Tyler in 1997.
