"Christian Brothers Academy is grateful to John Giunco and Mark Hall for their service to the school," said President Brother Frank Byrne, FSC. "During their tenure they worked with several school leaders and guided CBA through two major building campaigns. Thanks, in part, to their expertise, insight, and support, CBA is in a good position today with a healthy enrollment, modern facilities, and a $15 million endowment. We look forward to working closely with Joe Tort and our continued success."
