On May 1st, 2004, Brother Kevin Strong was installed
as the first President of the Cardinal Gibbons School. With
a record of achievement that is unrivaled in the Baltimore area,
Brother Kevin brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the
school. 
Brother Kevin has always believed that relationships and people
make schools, not just the buildings that hold them. In that
vein, Brother Kevin began his career as a Brother as a Guidance
Counselor and Spanish instructor at St John's College in Washington
DC. He then moved to La Salle High School in Philadelphia,
continuing his work in the classroom and with the boys of the Christian
Brothers Schools.
In 1979, Brother moved from the classroom to an administrator's
role, as Vice Principal of West Catholic in Philadelphia.
He spent five years learning the qualities that would later serve
him so well as a leader of schools, and was rewarded with his first
principal's position at Archbishop John Carroll in Radnor, PA, where
he served until 1990.
Brother Kevin's love of people and natural ability to fill a room
with warmth did not go unnoticed, and in 1990, he was appointed
President of Calvert Hall College in Baltimore, where he served
for 10 years and presided over numerous projects to improve the
campus, including the jewel of the athletic program, Russo Stadium.
Always one to help young men find their purpose, Brother Kevin has
twice served as Director of Aspirants, where he provides guidance
and mentoring for young men who wish to follow the Founder, St John
Baptist de La Salle.
Brother Kevin comes to Cardinal Gibbons School with a great deal
of energy and diversity of experience, including a Papal Honor,
service on 10 Middle States Evaluation Committees, and sitting on
the board of numerous institutions. In just three short years, the
school has seen a rebirth, with the reopening of the Fine Arts building,
the restoration of the theater, a massive marketing campaign, and
many other projects designed to beautify the existing footprint
of the school.
Proud of his Irish heritage and creative side, Brother Kevin has
released a book of poems, Walking in God's Presence, and
a CD of Irish music, Sing Claddagh.
