Dr. Burns Named Interim Head for 2023-24 School Year

Dear Members of the Stuart Hall Community,

After serious consideration, the Board of Trustees has made the decision to extend the search for our next permanent Head of School.

Under Dr. Tim Burns’s leadership, the Stuart Hall community is continuing to grow and make very positive strides. Dr. Burns’ decades of experience as a Head of School is exactly what Stuart Hall needs at this time. We are very pleased that Dr. Burns has agreed to extend his interim headship to two years, through the end of the 2023-2024 school year.

The school community met with several strong candidates in recent months, and we believe the remaining candidates could lead Stuart Hall. However, the Board has made the decision that another year under Dr. Burns’s leadership will give the next Head of School the best chance for success.

The Search Committee will be meeting after the Holidays to discuss our next steps in this most important process and we will continue to update our community as we move forward. Thank you to all in the community for your interest and involvement and to the Search Committee, which has devoted many hours to the process and will continue to work toward a successful conclusion.

Sincerely,

The Stuart Hall Board of Trustees
