Age: 39
President and CEO of JSerra Catholic High School

Frank Talarico is anything but a typical educator, and he’s getting a lot of attention because of it. Talarico is the first president of JSerra Catholic High School in San Juan Capistrano, which in just six years since its founding has firmly established itself as an academic and athletic powerhouse. Named for three years running as a top 50-in-the-nation school by the Catholic High School Honor Roll (the only school from Orange County to receive that distinction), JSerra boasts a $110-million campus and near-perfect record of getting its graduates into top universities.
Talarico came to JSerra after a stint at his alma mater – Servite High School in Anaheim. But he built his reputation in the golf world, as founding director of the Southern California PGA Foundation. “I’m not your traditional school guy,” says Talarico, who describes himself as “fiercely focused on the customer and the parent.” He says “parents send kids to a private school because they’re buying an outcome. It is about the quality of the experience and the promise of that outcome.”
