Brother Greg O’Donnell, former president and chief executive officer of Damien Memorial School in Kalihi, died at Hawaii Medical Center in Liliha this morning. He was 71 years old.
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.
He was a member of the Congregation of Christian Brothers for more than 50 years.
