Principal

Kevin Burke brings more than two decades of experience as a teacher, coach, academic leader, and principal to Salesianum School as the 18th principal in the school’s history.  Before joining Salesianum, he served as the Principal of Holy Ghost Preparatory School in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, and previously held several leadership positions at St. Augustine Preparatory School in Richland, New Jersey.
Burke earned a Bachelor of Arts in Financial Economics from Moravian University and a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership from Villanova University. He is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership at Stockton University. As a school leader, he focuses on strengthening the academic culture, developing educators and leaders, and creating a school community where young men can discern who God calls them to be. 

Rooted in the spirituality of St. Francis de Sales, Burke believes that every young man possesses unique, God-given gifts that educators have a responsibility to recognize, call forth, and help flourish. In partnership with Salesianum’s faculty, staff, and administration, he is committed to forming young men of faith, intellect, and character who are prepared to lead and serve others.
