Dear Friends,

St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s became my professional home in 1993. Since then, it has become much more than that; the students, parents, and faculty are at the center of my hopes and concerns each day. Our families and faculty are more than a community; they are an extended family that cares for one another, promotes one another, and celebrates one another. It is a privilege for me to serve them as head of school.

I consider it my sacred duty to continue St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s founding mission—to bring together children and families of all backgrounds to learn about one another and from one another. Our founder, Mother Ruth, had this vision in 1950, and we renew our commitment to it every day and every year, for the past 70 years. It is in our blood and in our bones; it is at the heart of all we do.

Leading an elementary school is the fulfillment of the dream I had since the start of my career. Early childhood and elementary education provide an essential opportunity to build a strong and lasting foundation that will support and propel our students throughout their lives. Our attention, our efforts, and our resources are focused solely on the needs of children and their early education. This singular focus allows us to provide experiences that make children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn. 

My hope for all of our students is that their educational experiences provide the bedrock upon which they build lives that bring them joy, purpose, and satisfaction. Serving as their head of school brings me all of these gifts and more.

Sincerely,
