Head of School

With Head of School Patty Eggerding’s announcement that she will be retiring at the end of June 2026, after 14 years as our dedicated Head of School, the Board of Trustees has launched a national search for the next Head of School to begin on July 1, 2026. The Board has appointed a Head of School Search Committee, representative of the school community, that will shepherd the process with the assistance of our search consultants, Jay Underwood and Nicole McDermott of Educational Directions (EduDx).

We will keep this page updated as the search progresses, and we invite you to contact Jay or Nicole with suggestions of outstanding Montessori educators who might be interested in becoming our next Head of School and/or questions about the process.
