Head of School Finalist Meet and Greets

Over the past eight months, the Head of School (HOS) Search and Transition Committee has been actively engaged in developing a thoughtful and intentional search process for the next TSA Head of School. Michael began this transition work with TSA’s Board of Trustees several years ago. Michael’s leadership has been a foundational and central piece of who we are as a community. Now as we transition to a new leader, we are excited about working with him and the entire TSA community to find the next Head of School who will usher TSA into a new era.

The Search and Transition Team is delighted to announce the selection of our three finalists for the Head of School Position. Each of these candidates impressed our team greatly with their wealth of experience and enthusiasm for TSA and its mission, and we cannot wait for you to meet them. Each of our finalists will be independently visiting the The Sharon Academy High School and Middle School for two days and we invite the TSA community to meet each candidate, hear their perspectives and participate in a Q&A during the Meet and Greet Evenings that we will be hosting. Please take note of our three finalists and the dates for the Open Meet and Greet Community Evenings. All students, staff, parents, alumni, and community members will have the opportunity to share feedback with the Search and Transition Committee after meeting the candidates.
