PORTLAND (AP) — Maine’s Cheverus High School has a new president.

The Jesuit school in Portland on Thursday announced that the Rev. George Collins will take over beginning July 1.

The Boston native is currently Director of Campus Ministry at Fairfield University in Connecticut.

Collins replaces the Rev. William Campbell, who is leaving Cheverus to serve as vice president for mission at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Collins was previously a theology instructor at Cheverus from 2005 to 2007.

Cheverus, founded in 1917, is an independent, coeducational college preparatory school overseen by the Jesuits. It has about 450 students. It is the only Jesuit secondary school in northern New England.
