Mr. Timothy Welsh

Providence, RI – La Salle Academy – Providence announces the appointment of Mr. Timothy Welsh as its next Principal. Mr. Welsh will join the school community in his official capacity on July 1, 2022.

This announcement marks a major transition and milestone for La Salle Academy. After more than two decades of steadfast leadership and dedication, Principal Donald Kavanagh will retire at the end of this school year. The La Salle community is so very grateful for his service, especially because he has ensured that the success and growth of La Salle Academy will continue long into the future. The Academy’s leadership made it a requirement in the principal search to find a candidate who would embody Don’s level of commitment to the Lasallian Catholic mission, respect for the faculty and staff, and his focus on the educational and personal growth of the Lasallian students.

Tim is a leader who embraces the foundational values and beliefs of La Salle Academy’s rich 150-year history. He is also a person with the vision, imagination, and experience to continue La Salle’s legacy of being a future-ready and high-performing school.   As an alumnus from the Class of 1993 and the former Vice-President of Institutional Advancement, Tim deeply understands all facets of the Lasallian community.

Please join the Rams community in congratulating Tim on his appointment and warmly welcoming him home to La Salle Academy in this leadership role.
