In 2003, Sheridan received a master of arts teaching degree from the University of Toronto’s Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. He is currently pursuing a PhD in educational administration at the university.
He has held the positions of vice principal of discipline at St. Michael’s and vice principal of curriculum and teacher development.
Sheridan takes over from Joseph Brisbois who was principal for nine years.
“I look forward to working with the community members of St. Michael’s to continue its proud history, further its traditions of success and provide opportunities for new growth,” Sheridan said in a statement.
As vice principal, Sheridan helped to establish a learning enrichment centre, implementing policies and procedures for student and staff care under crises.
Established in 1852 by the Basilian Fathers, St. Michael’s College School welcomes students from Grades 7 to 12. It is Ontario’s only independent Catholic school for young men.
