The headmaster of St. Thomas Academy in Mendota Heights resigned Tuesday.
Matthew Mohs had been headmaster of the Catholic boys military prep school for five years, according to a letter to parents from Daniel Kubes, chairman of St. Thomas Academy’s board of trustees. Mohs’ resignation was effective immediately.
“This was a deeply personal decision for Matt, and I hope you will support him as he transitions to the next phase of his career,” Kubes wrote. “The Board is grateful to Matt for his contributions and leadership.”
The letter did not give a reason for Mohs’ departure, and he could not be reached for comment late Thursday night.
Kubes added that Mohs “advanced several important initiatives that helped us further our mission of developing boys into men of character.”
The board of trustees will appoint an interim headmaster while it searches for a permanent replacement for Mohs.
