Barry Fitzpatrick, the principal of Mount St. Joseph High School, resigned Tuesday after officials there discovered “inappropriate” communications with students, the school said in a letter to parents.
The school did not detail the content or the type of communications but said the “proper authorities” had been notified, school president George E. Andrews Jr. wrote in the letter obtained by The Baltimore Sun.
Baltimore police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said he could neither confirm nor deny an investigation.
Fitzpatrick could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday.
Mount St. Joseph, a private all-boys school known for its athletics, has had a turbulent couple of years. In December 2011, its longtime president, Brother James Kelly, died of prostate cancer.
