G. Keith Dolan

It is with profound sorrow that the SBHS Alumni Association announces the passing of Dr. G. Keith Dolan, former principal of San Bernardino High School. Dr. Dolan passed away peacefully at his home on November 11, 2024, surrounded by his beloved wife and daughters.

Dr. Dolan served as the 14th principal of SBHS, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, leadership, and service to both the school and the community. Under his guidance, key milestones were achieved, including the creation of the Cardinal City Charter and the welcome rally for the Santa Fe Bell (Victory Bell). He also tapped history teacher Bryan Burke to help establish the SBHS Archives, which later became the Cardinal City Museum, preserving the rich history of our school for generations to come.

A tireless advocate for the students and staff of SBHS, Dr. Dolan often reflected fondly on his time at the school, always remembering his students with great affection.

Dr. Dolan’s impact on SBHS and the community is immeasurable, and his memory will continue to inspire us all. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Dr. G. Keith Dolan
