Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy announced today that three individuals are taking on new roles.

Megan Haverland has been named Assistant Director of Admissions. She joined the Office of Enrollment Management in 2019. A 2002 alumna, Haverland has played a key role in the school’s increasing enrollment the last two years. She advises incoming families during the admissions process—from submitting applications to interviewing with principals, and submitting academic records and recommendations in a new online system called MyNotreDame.

Beth Lockhart, who has served as director of alumni relations since 2014, will begin a new role as Director of Advancement when she returns from maternity leave on Oct. 11. She will continue to manage the Notre Dame Alumni Association and also lead the Notre Dame Fund, the school’s annual appeal. Since she arrived, the alumni association has grown attendance at homecoming, increased the number of reunion events, introduced alumni chapters for each one of the heritage schools, and launched a career mentoring program.

Sheri Yanik has also been named Advancement Manager. In her previous position, she supported the “March on to Victory” capital campaign. She has stewarded donors to the $7 million campaign, which successfully ended in 2019. Yanik is responsible for maintaining constituent and donor records in MyNotreDame, conducting research and analysis, and acknowledging gifts, pledges and other charitable gifts. She also serves as the staff liaison to the Board of Trustees.

“We couldn’t be happier that Megan, Beth and Sheri are taking on additional responsibilities at Notre Dame,” said Mark Roberts, vice president for advancement. “As a Marist school, we are called to think, judge, feel and act like Mary in all things. Megan, Beth and Sheri have answered Our Lady’s call to help us better serve our prospective families, alumni, and donors.”

A search is underway for an Alumni Relations Manager. This position will oversee the day-to-day operations of the Notre Dame Alumni Association which includes 12,000 graduates from Notre Dame Preparatory School as well Notre Dame High School in Harper Woods, Oakland Catholic High School, Pontiac Catholic High School, St. Frederick’s High School and St. Michael’s High School.
