The Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington has hired David Young, former superintendent of the South Burlington School District, as the new superintendent of Catholic schools. Young began his teaching and administrative career in Fairfax, before serving as the principal of the Georgia Elementary School for 10 years. He spent the last 17 years with the South Burlington School District, 11 of those as superintendent.
"David Young's extensive leadership experience as an assistant superintendent and superintendent will be a great asset to our Catholic school system," said Burlington Bishop Christopher Coyne. "We are confident he will build upon the strong academic and faith-based education our schools currently offer and lead them to new heights."
Young is a graduate of Norwich University and served in the Army as an officer before returning to his alma mater for a master's in education administration.
"I look forward to the opportunity to support Bishop Coyne and the leaders in the Vermont Catholic schools," said Young. "I believe that relationship development leads to trust, and with that formation, honest and reflective outcomes emerge."
