In 1990, Bishop Pierre DuMaine appointed Mr. Tim Brosnan as the first lay principal to continue the fine tradition of Catholic secondary education at Archbishop Mitty. Under the new administration's leadership, the school entered a period of tremendous academic and co-curricular growth. Supporting this dramatic growth was a massive expansion of the campus facilities, allowing all aspects of the campus community – academic, spiritual, and co-curricular – to grow to their full potential. In 2018, Bishop Patrick McGrath and Superintendent of Schools Kathy Almazol approved the transition of Archbishop Mitty High School back to a president-principal administrative model, and appointed Mr. Timothy Brosnan as the first lay president of Archbishop Mitty High School. Following Tim Brosnan's retirement in late 2020, after 30 years of service, Bishop Oscar Cantú appointed Mrs. Latanya (Johnson '92) Hilton the next president of Archbishop Mitty High School upon the recommendation of the Presidential Search Committee.

As of the 2012–2013 school year, Archbishop Mitty High School was one of the first in America[citation needed] to give Apple Inc. iPad tablet computers to all students and teachers.[3] The 2010–2011 school year was a pilot year when a few select students were given iPads as a test. The iPads are equipped with electronic books and apps that the students are allowed to use. The iPads are closely monitored by the technology department so that their use remains strictly educational.[3]
