When not attending consultative board meetings or with his wife and eight sons, Mr. Flaherty works in Accounting at Caterpillar, Inc. His wife and children are the 4th generation of his family to attend Peoria Catholic high schools! His grandmother and mom graduated from the Academy; his dad graduated from Spalding; his wife and he graduated from AOL/SI (Spalding), and their sons from PND (Colin 2014, Brendan 2016, Declan 2018, Liam 2020, Owen 2021, Aidan 2023, Tristan 2027, and Evan 2028.) Mr. Flaherty believes that Catholic education is critical for the formation of all of our children.  He wanted to give back and help ensure PND continues to grow and thrive as a Christ-centered, virtuous, and academically excellent environment for our students.
