Advancing Our Mission

BB&N Welcomes Mike O’Brien as Director of Development

BB&N is delighted to welcome Mike O’Brien who joined the Advancement Office in January as Director of Development, where he oversees the school’s alumni/ae engagement program, parent programs, and The BB&N Fund.

Mike comes to BB&N from Boston College High School where he served as Senior Director of Alumni and Family Engagement and Annual Giving for the past four years; and played a pivotal role in reshaping BC High’s alumni framework and securing transformational gifts for BC High’s $135 million campaign.

Prior to working in development, Mike held positions in admissions, college counseling, and teaching at independent schools in Philadelphia and southeastern Virginia. Mike has degrees from Boston College’s Lynch School of Education and Hobart and William Smith Colleges where he was a four-year member and team captain of Hobart’s lacrosse team.

Mike writes, “BB&N’s leadership in Head of School Dr. Jennifer Price, combined with its mission and history as being a pioneer in inclusive education where access and affordability is prioritized in its day-to-day work, was extremely attractive to me and my family at this stage of my career. I look forward to working with all members of the community to create meaningful engagement opportunities that deepen the connection our students, graduates, parents, and caregivers have with BB&N.”
