Beth O'Reilly

 

Currently the Principal of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School and previous teacher at St. Patrick Catholic School, Beth has been a partner with Bellarmine in supporting students as they prepare to be Lions throughout their K-8 parochial education. She currently serves on the Finance Committee of the Board.

Beth spent her first 18 years in executive leadership roles in mobile telecommunications, finance and software engineering at T-Mobile, Microsoft, and AT&T Wireless. Beth’s business expertise and connection to the Tacoma community has led her to serve on other boards she is passionate about - including L’Arche Tahoma Hope and the TEARS Foundation. 

A graduate of Bellarmine, she earned her bachelor’s degree in French and Philosophy from Gonzaga University and European Economics and History from the Catholic Institute of Paris. Beth holds a Masters in Teaching from the University of Puget Sound, a Masters in Literature from Boston College, and a MBA and Master’s Certification in Technology Management. Currently, Beth is a Doctoral candidate at Gonzaga University researching technology and the role of Artificial Intelligence and 1:1 computing in the classroom environment. 

As an alum (B ‘89) and a current and past Bellarmine parent, the school has played a large role in forming her as a parent, a principal and a teacher. “Growing up at Bellarmine in a community rooted in academic excellence, service, justice and love, informed who I am, and who I want my children to be - people of the world and for the world. Bellarmine is a special place and one I am honored to support as we move into its second century.”
