Dear Caedmon Community,


We are thrilled to announce that three finalist candidates will visit our school this September. Prior to each visit, their biographies will be shared with the community. Each candidate visits the school independently and will have two full days to meet our community and immerse themselves in The Caedmon School.

 

To get to this point, the Head of School Search Committee has worked deliberately this summer. We carefully selected this finalist pool from a very talented and competitive group of applicants. We have conducted background and reference checks, compiling a robust picture of each candidate.

 

We have also worked closely with RG175 to outline a visiting schedule that represents The Caedmon School and its awesome constituents. This visit is not only an opportunity for the candidates to get a sense of who we are, but also a time for us to get to know them more intimately.

 

To that end, we encourage you to save the dates listed below, which are opportunities for the parent community at Caedmon to meet with the finalists and ask questions. Each Tuesday of the visits, there will be a morning in-person session and an evening Zoom opportunity to meet the candidates and ask questions. If you are able to attend one or both of these sessions, you will be invited to complete a feedback form about the candidate(s) you met with.

 

We can’t overstate your importance in this process, and its bi-directionality. Your feedback is valued and essential. Your attendance and representation of our community will reflect to our candidates how much we all value our school.

 

Please take out your calendars and mark your Tuesdays in September. We will all take a great cue from our Caedmon students, and we will show up with curiosity! 

 

Save the Dates/Times to Meet the Candidates:

Please feel free to reach out to the co-chairs with any questions via email here and visit the Head of School Search Page for updates.

 

We wish you a happy rest of your summers. We look forward to seeing you on the Caedmon Steps this fall and at the candidates' visits.

 

With gratitude,

Michael Gramer (P’ 28, P’ 29) and Katie Taylor (P’22, P’23, P’25)
