M.A. in National Security & Strategic Studies (Summa Cum Laude) from the United States Naval War College | B.S. in Management from the University of Phoenix
The Devine family came to OLR in 2021 after both Mr. Devine and his Bride retired from active duty in the U.S. Navy as Surface Warfare Officers. Thinking he would be happy living the semi-retired life, substituting at OLR and part-time teaching in the South Carolina Technical College System, Mr. Devine realized quickly that he wanted to teach, lead, and mentor others more fully again…specifically the students of OLR. Mr. Devine’s role will have two foci:
First, as Dean of Students, he is the first person to address student behavior concerns and leads efforts to help our students grow into maturity and become leaders themselves through stewardship, wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance.
Second, he will teach Upper School American History. With over 25 years of experience teaching everything from digital circuitry troubleshooting to gas turbine engine operation to the history of the Peloponnesian War, Mr. Devine brings a wealth of classroom and organizational leadership experience to OLR.
