He is also an adjunct professor at Ball State University where he teaches a variety of Educational Leadership courses. “Guerin Catholic has been nationally recognized for its academic rigor and strong Catholic identity, and having the opportunity to lead such a dynamic, faith-centered community is humbling,” said Atha. Dr. Atha holds four advanced degrees from Ball State University: a Master’s, Specialist’s, and Doctorate degree in educational leadership and a Master of Business Administration from The Miller College of Business. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in mathematics and computer science from St. Joseph’s College in Rensselaer.
