Richard Nault, the dean of students and basketball coach at Central Catholic, resigned Friday amid an investigation into his possible misconduct. Nault had been on administrative leave since Tuesday for allegedly sending inappropriate messages on Snapchat to a former student.
“I accepted Mr. Nault’s resignation with regret,” school president Christopher Sullivan said in a statement announcing the resignation. “Over recent months, Mr. Nault engaged a recent graduate and alumna of Central Catholic on a social media site, a practice that cannot be tolerated at our school.”
Nault, a 1990 graduate of Central Catholic, has guided the boys’ basketball team for 11 seasons, winning state championships in 2008 and 2010. Last season, Nault’s Raiders won the Merrimack Valley Conference Large Division and earned a berth in the Division 1 North final against Cambridge.
Nault was placed on leave during a misconduct investigation before resigning Friday.
