Ken Mayo, 'Face Of St. Joes' Passes Away

TRUMBULL, CT — The longtime face of St. Joseph's High School has passed away. Ken Mayo, who served at at the high school in various capacities for 38 years died Sunday night.

"I often thought he would be the one to write our history," said William Fitzgerald, head of St. Joe's. "Football coach, religion teacher, dean of students, vice-principal, principal. He worked with every administration—the Marists, the Franciscans, the School Sisters of Notre Dame, Monsignor Shea, Mr Bishop—and he told the best stories. Certainly, his wisdom and experience embodied our spirit. His passing is sad news."

The school will release more information as it becomes available.

Mayo retired in 2015. He served as principal for his last seven years at the school.
