On July 1, 2009, Loyola Academy welcomed Rev. Patrick E. McGrath, S.J. as its eighth president. The breadth and depth of Fr. McGrath's experience as a Jesuit educator and administrator are strengths that he will draw upon as he leads Loyola Academy into its second century.
Fr. McGrath's new appointment at Loyola is a homecoming of sorts after his three-year tenure as Loyola's director of Ignatian and Jesuit identity.
