O’Donnell was head of the school from 1997 to 2007 when he retired. While there, he added a middle school and helped increase enrollment.

"He was certainly passionate of education. He wanted the school he was connected with to be in the forefront of curriculum and programs," said Brother Peter Zawot, principal of Damien Memorial School.
