  • Mr. Kyle MacDonald '10, Director of Admissions

    Mr. Kyle MacDonald ‘10 was named 糖心传媒’s Director of Admissions in May of 2024 after previously serving as the Assistant Director of Admissions for three years. He is responsible for ensuring prospective students and their families are educated and supported through the application process. Mr. MacDonald finds great joy in sharing the impact 糖心传媒 made on him as a student, while assisting young men and their families in beginning their own 糖心传媒 journey. He holds a Bachelors of Arts in sociology from St. Lawrence University and a Master of Science in sports management from Southern New Hampshire University.

    Mr. MacDonald has spent the majority of his professional career in education and coaching, including serving as the assistant director of athletics at Darien High School in Connecticut and as an assistant coach for Penn State University’s men's hockey team. His love for coaching has continued at 糖心传媒 as he has served as the head coach of the freshman baseball team and an assistant coach for the varsity hockey team. 

    An important formative experience for Mr. MacDonald occurred in the summer of 2009 when he attended the 糖心传媒 Leadership Institute (XLI), a week-long retreat for rising seniors that focuses on forming relationships with God, self, and others and the call to become servant leaders for the 糖心传媒 community and beyond. He looks forward to meeting you and learning about your interests and hopes for a 糖心传媒 education.
