Opinion

A Strong Endorsement for Tom McFadden, Jr. from Christendom College Team

Published

on

We 100% support Tom McFadden, Jr, as the next Shenandoah District School Board member. We believe that not only does he have the executive administrative experience required for success in this role, but he also has the ability to come up with innovative ideas and implement them to achieve success.

As our boss, we see Tom’s tremendous skills and abilities displayed on a daily basis. Managing the enrollment of a non-Federally funded private liberal arts college is no easy task, but under his direction, the college has grown its enrollment by over 40% in 10 years – unheard of in today’s volatile higher education landscape. As a nationally recognized college with students from the US and abroad, under Tom’s direction – and implementing his creative ideas and insights –  we have had a waiting list for three years.

Our student satisfaction levels and our alumni‘s preparedness in entering the workforce and being knowledgeable about career prep matters are among the highest in the nation, and much of that is due to Tom’s involvement in these aspects of our students’ lives.

If something can be done better, more efficiently, and in a more economically prudent manner through effective collaboration with his team, Tom generally can figure out the solution.

On top of his professional abilities, Tom is a down-to-earth, humble, caring leader who has the ability not to take himself too seriously and add humor to a situation. He is a joy to work for, and we consider him more a friend and colleague than we do a boss.

We are confident that he will bring everything he has to the table as a Board member for Warren County Public Schools, and we are confident that, once elected, people will see and experience what we do on a daily basis. He has watched every School Board meeting for the past 2 years and has been attending monthly meetings since the spring. He is doing his research and talking to other Board members and parents to get as much information as possible so that he can best serve the families of Warren County.

Vote for Tom McFadden, Jr, for Shenandoah District School Board – he will be #ReadyOnDay1 to get the job done.
