“After a thorough process including research, extensive outreach and consideration of feedback from faculty, parents and friends of the school, the search committee determined that the best candidate was in front of them,” said Steve P. Akin, president of the board, in a prepared statement.
One of McInerney’s first duties will be to develop a strategic plan, he said.
McInerney is a Bates College graduate with an advanced degree from Harvard University.
Kents Hill was founded in 1824 and has 245 students from more than 15 countries and 22 states.
