Kristopher Magargal
Director of Athletics, Associate Director of Admission
I grew up in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and attended local catholic schools. Later, I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of New Haven in Connecticut and eventually went on to earn a Master's degree from Northeastern University in Boston. Education and Athletics are my passions, and I am lucky to come from a family that values both. I'm thrilled to continue to help students find their path to academic and athletic success.
