St. Rita of Cascia High School Announces Marketing Manager

CHICAGO – Deacon John Donahue, J.D., Ed.D., President of St. Rita of Cascia High School, has appointed Claire Cahill as Marketing Manager.

Cahill brings a diversified skill set to St. Rita, with experience in business analytics, sales, advertising, media planning, and marketing. Most recently, she was an Account Executive for Channel 5-WTVF in Nashville, where she helped local businesses to realize growth opportunities through broadcast television advertising as well as digital platforms, search solutions, social media strategies, digital display, and email targeting. 

Prior to her move to Nashville, Cahill held the role of Account Executive and Account Specialist for EFFECTV, the sales division of Comcast. There, she partnered with the Sales Development to execute campaign strategy and track campaign activity.  She also grew in her experience of project management and creative project development as well.

“Claire Cahill joins our team at the perfect time,” Deacon John said. “Not only does she bring the necessary skillset to keep the momentum we have right now growing, but she also brings a sense of creativity and collaboration that contributes to all that we do here at St. Rita. We are thrilled to welcome her to St. Rita officially, even though she’s been a part of the St. Rita family since she was young with her grandpa, uncles, and brothers all being Ritamen. 

“The oldest to Connor ’18, Patrick ’20, and Danny ’23, it is a privilege to work at a school that means so much to me and my family.” Cahill stated. “I have watched my brothers grow spiritually and intellectually, which stemmed from their St. Rita experience. As an Augustinian institution that offers so much, I look forward to helping future Ritamen grow by working closely with all departments — faculty, staff, and administration. I have been cheering on the Mustangs my entire life and I look forward to carrying on the legacy of St. Rita.

Cahill graduated from St. John Fisher in 2011 and Marist High School in 2015. She received her bachelor’s degree in public relations from Loras College in 2019, where she also played golf for their NCAA Division III Women’s Golf Team and was involved extensively in various areas of campus life including serving as a student ambassador for their admissions team.
