KEVIN DONOHUE

Growing up in Tampa, Florida, Kevin was shaped by 13 years of Catholic schooling—a foundation that propelled him to the University of Notre Dame and eventually into a lifelong career in education. After graduating with a focus on Asian history and studying abroad in Australia, he joined the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE), where he discovered his vocation while teaching in South Central Los Angeles and earning his M.Ed.
Since then, Kevin has held diverse roles across the country, ranging from middle school history teacher to Vice Principal and Principal. His leadership journey took him from San Diego—where he married his wife, Jenna—to the Boston area, and finally to Arkansas, where he now serves on the professional learning team at FACTS Educational Solutions.
Kevin operates on the belief that education is the second greatest gift one can give to the next generation. He strives to create learning environments where students are challenged to work hard, assessed fairly, and prepared to meet their God-given potential.
