EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Daryl Hagan is leaving his post as superintendent of Evansville's Catholic schools to head a newly created national program for accrediting Catholic schools.
Hagan has been superintendent for 12 years in the Diocese of Evansville, overseeing 22 elementary and four high schools throughout Southwestern Indiana.
Bishop Joseph Siegel has begun working on planning for the future leadership of the Catholic Schools Office, said Tim Lilley, spokesman for the diocese. No interim superintendent has been named.

On Monday, Hagan was named the first director of Catholic School Accreditation for the Institute for the Transformation of Catholic Education at The Catholic University of America.
In his new role, Hagan will lead and craft the design, development, implementation and evaluation of the new Accreditation Program. He will begin his new job in July. The Catholic University of America is in Washington, D.C., but Hagan will be able to remain in the Evansville area with his family.
The Institute for the Transformation of Catholic Education was founded in the fall of 2021 to work with Catholic schools nationwide on teacher and leader degree and professional development programs, school accreditation and research.
