AURORA | Aurora’s educational landscape gained a new face Thursday, Feb. 11, after the Regis Jesuit High School Board of Trustees tapped David Card to become the school’s new president.
Card will replace Rick Sullivan, who has served as interim president of Regis Jesuit since last September. The President who served prior to Sullivan, Paul Sheridan, resigned from the post due to health issues, according to a press release issued by the school.
“I welcome the appointment of Mr. Card as the next President of Regis Jesuit High School,” Ronald Mercier, a priest and administrator at Regis, wrote in a press release. “For 138 years this school has served the people of the Archdiocese of Denver so well and has fostered the Catholic identity of so many young men and women, faithful to our Jesuit tradition. In Mr. Card, that commitment to the Jesuit identity of the school and to Catholic education not only will live on, but will thrive.”
Card has been involved at the Catholic school since he graduated from Regis in 1987. He worked as Director of Development at the school from 1999 to 2003, and has served on Regis’ board of trustees for the past year, according to a press release.
Card comes to the school from Escuela de Guadalupe, a Catholic elementary school in Denver, where he had served as president since 2003. He holds a master’s degree from the University of Colorado Denver and a bachelor’s degree from Regis University in Denver.
Card will assume his new duties at Regis Jesuit in August.
