Principal, president of St. Michael’s resign amid scandal involving students

The principal and president of St. Michael’s College School have both resigned amid an investigation into alleged assaults and sexual assaults involving students of the school.

The school said president Father Jefferson Thompson and principal Greg Reeves resigned effective immediately in a news release issued on Thursday evening citing their “shared desire to move the school forward without distractions and allow it to focus on healing.”

Six students have been arrested in connection with the alleged incidents and have each been charged with sexual assault, gang sexual assault and sexual assault with a weapon.

None of these allegations have been tested in court.
