Loyola Academy Honors 2026 Tenure Recipients at Annual Mass and Celebration

On Monday, March 30, Loyola Academy gathered in the Chapel to celebrate a meaningful milestone in the lives of 18 faculty members who have been granted tenure. Rooted in our Jesuit mission, the conferral of tenure recognizes not only professional excellence, but also a sustained commitment to forming women and men for others through education, care, and witness.
Tenure at Loyola Academy affirms a faculty member's dedication to the intellectual, spiritual, and personal formation of students. It is both an honor and a responsibility—one that reflects years of thoughtful teaching, collaboration, and accompaniment of young people during a formative time in their lives.

The celebration began with Mass, grounding the occasion in gratitude and reflection. In the spirit of cura personalis, we recognized these educators for the ways they engage students not only in the classroom, but also as mentors, coaches, and leaders who help shape a community rooted in dignity, compassion, and purpose.

The following individuals were honored as 2026 tenure recipients:
  • Lauren Bosco, Physical Education Department
  • Sarah Buntin, Theology Department
  • Brian Dugan, Theology Department
  • Sara Hickey '14, Social Studies Department
  • Matt Hohs, Physical Education Department
  • Jeffrey Joseph, Theology Department
  • John Lillig, English Department
  • Carolina Lofgren '10, O'Shaughnessy Department
  • Catherine Lucas, Science Department
  • Robert Metellus, Mission, Ministry, and Identity Department

  • Luisa Pashinian, World Languages Department
  • Michael Scott '12, Math Department
  • Mary Stimming, Theology Department

  • Dan Wawrzyniak, English Department

Through their work, these educators embody Loyola's commitment to academic excellence and the formation of the whole person. Their impact is seen daily in classrooms, on teams, in retreats and service experiences, and in the countless moments of encouragement and guidance that define a Rambler education.
