Former Hawaii pop singer turned educator Glenn Medeiros is the new president of Saint Louis School.

Medeiros and Sione Thompson, the new school principal, were to be introduced to Saint Louis students at a Thursday afternoon assembly on the Waialae campus. Medeiros and Thompson will begin their new positions July 1.

Medeiros’ hit single, "Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You," was released in 1987. In 1990, Medeiros recorded "She Ain’t Worth It" with Bobby Brown.
