Conrad Aquino brings a unique perspective to the board — one shaped equally by medicine, faith, and a deep-rooted belief in the power of education done right. Dr Aquino’s own formation was entirely Catholic, from elementary school through a Jesuit university and into postgraduate studies within the Dominican tradition. He understands from personal experience what Catholic education can offer when it is operating at its best.

Coming from a family of educators, Dr. Aquino has always been drawn to the question of how people truly learn — not simply how content is delivered, but how understanding is built and retained in a meaningful way. Beyond his career in healthcare, Dr. Aquino also serves on the board of a nonprofit at the intersection of psychology and the teachings of Jesus — helping people recognize and shed the unconscious patterns that keep them from living freely and fully.

 He brings that same lens to his work in Catholic education: the belief that a school's highest calling is not simply academic achievement, but the holistic development of every student who walks through its doors.
