The Rev. Jack Hanna, a Spanish and art history teacher at Houston’s Catholic St. Thomas High School, has resigned and entered treatment at a therapeutic center for priests, school officials said on Friday.

In a statement issued by the Rev. Kevin Storey, school president, and the Rev. Patrick Fulton, principal, the school said Hanna had been accused of unspecified misconduct. School officials said the complainant was an adult.

Hanna, a 1962 graduate of the school, operated by the Congregation of St. Basil, taught introductory and advanced placement Spanish classes and art history. He had been a member of the faculty since 1981.
