Principal Duties and Responsibilities

Mount Michael Benedictine School, a Catholic Benedictine college-preparatory boarding and day school for young men, is seeking a Residential Dean for the 2026-2027 school year.

Rooted in the Benedictine values of Hospitality, Integrity, Community, Service, and Moderation, the Residential Dean lives in the dormitory and serves as a steady mentor and role model during the most formative years of a young man’s life.

Position Overview

The Residential Dean provides daily supervision, mentorship, and accountability within our male dormitory. This role blends mentorship and pastoral presence, structured discipline and accountability, faith formation, and community building.
Much of the impact in this role happens through consistent presence, including hallway conversations, study hall support, quiet hours, and one on one check ins.
