In regard to this new venture, Mr. Tyrrell said, “I have been blessed throughout my life to have experienced Catholic and Jesuit schools as a student, teacher and administrator. It is this connection with the Catholic faith and Jesuit tradition, and the school’s mission in particular, that has led me to accept the position of Principal at St. Xavier High School. I feel privileged to be able to serve the St. Xavier students and I look forward to meeting and working with the community that supports the task of educating these young men to become Men for Others.”

Current Principal Bill Sandquist welcomed Mr. Tyrrell saying "Terry can count on the professionalism of this faculty and staff to support him in his new position."
