left his position on
Wednesday, Aug. 15.
According to a press release
from the school, Mahoney
stepped away from
his position to pursue other
professional opportunities.
The former athletic director
and 1990 graduate of
the school had been the athletics
leader of the school
since 2003.
“We are very grateful to
Mr. Mahoney for his many
years of dedicated service to
Loyola,” said Loyola Academy
President Rev. Patrick
McGrath in the press release.
“And we wish him
nothing but great success in
the next chapter of his professional

to help advance the mission
of Loyola.”

Loyola’s interim athletic
director effective Aug. 15.

From June 4
Mahoney
school fired former girls
soccer head coach Craig
Snower over allegations
that he made inappropriate
comments toward players
during his time as coach.
Investigations by The Winnetka
Current and Wilmette
Police Department
into the allegations showed
that Snower made sexual
comments toward players.
The police investigation
concluded Mahoney was
not aware of any of these
sexual comments made toward
players, but parents
had approached him about
not being comfortable with
their children playing for
Snower.
Mahoney’s departure
from the school comes less
than a month after former
school principal Kathryn
Baal left Loyola to “pursue
new educational opportunities,”

serving at Loyola as a
faculty member in the
O’Shaughnessy Program.
She was named assistant
dean of student life overseeing
co-curricular student
clubs and activities in
2006, and in 2008, she was
promoted to run Loyola’s
Office of Admissions and
Enrollment. From 2005
to 2009, Atwood coached
the women’s cross-country
and track and field teams.
She has been involved in
Loyola’s Campus Ministry
programs as a retreat leader
and as a member of the
Gesu Chapel Program team.
“Ms. Atwood is a seasoned
Loyola administrator
and educator,” McGrath
said. “She understands the
mission of Loyola and how
important athletics can be
in the life of a Rambler. I
am confident that she will
lead the athletic programs
effectively.”
Loyola Academy will
begin a national search this
fall for a vice president for
athletics and fitness. As of
press time, Mahoney did not
return The Current’s calls.
“We are very grateful to Mr. Mahoney for his
many years of dedicated service to Loyola. ... Athletic
programs have grown considerably during
his tenure, and he has worked tirelessly to help
advance the mission of Loyola.”
