Controversy

On June 21, 2015, a former history teacher, Brother John Spalding (74 at the time), was charged with maintaining child pornography on a computer that the school had provided to him. Spalding was charged with possessing child pornography and endangering the welfare of a child. He was released on $75,000 bail, and subsequently transferred by the school. Spalding died on October 15, 2023 in Pascoag, Rhode Island at the age of 82. In 2017, the school, was sued via separate lawsuits by four former employees, Thomas Scarano, Eugene Tyrrell, Jerry Smith, and Thomas Cunningham, over the termination of their employment. The lawsuits for Scarano and Tyrrell state that they were fired due to age discrimination. The case for Smith stated that he was fired due to age discrimination and over claims that he was involved in tuition payments for student-athletes, of which he denies involvement. The suits for Scarano, Tyrrell, and Smith, were settled out of court and as of July 2018, there has been no resolution or updates to Cunningham's case.
