Mater Dei has hired Dr. Kenneth Miller as its executive director of athletics, the school announced Thursday.
Also, Mater Dei announced that it has promoted Kelly Dullard and Jessica Perry to co-athletic directors. Both had been associate athletic directors in recent years.
Miller most recently was Orange Unified School District Administrative Director of Educational Services and District Athletic Director. Prior to that, he was the principal at Villa Park High.
The executive director of athletics position was created at Mater Dei a few years ago when longtime Servite associate athletic director Joel Hartmann was hired for the job shortly after former Servite principal Mike Brennan became Mater Dei president. When Hartmann left, Kevin Kiernan assumed executive director duties.
Kiernan, the very successful girls basketball coach at Mater Dei, has returned to Troy to be its girls basketball coach.
Miller’s starting date at Mater Dei is Aug. 1.
In a media release from Mater Dei, Miller said: “I am honored to join the Mater Dei community and contribute to its remarkable tradition of excellence. This is a special place where faith, character, and achievement come together. I look forward to supporting our student-athletes and coaches as we move forward together in these exciting and changing times.”
