New Fontbonne principal has a familiar face
Fontbonne Hall Academy’s new principal won’t need much time to adjust to his surroundings.
Dr. Fred Herron has a 42-year history with the Shore Road school. He was chair of religious studies, campus minister and spiritual director before he resigned in 2020. He succeeds Mary Ann Spicijaric, who had led the all-girls Catholic high school since 2013.
Herron was also a member of the theology and religious studies department at St. John’s University; religious education director for the U.S. Coast Guard; and executive director for the Mount Manresa Jesuit Retreat House and the Mariandale Retreat and Conference Center.
