I’m the PP who bumped the tread. Thanks to the current families who replied. Fingers crossed.

Heard the new US head is already looking for another job. She is a finalist at a different MoCo private. Why can't they keep folks in this job?

NP - our 9th grader loves it. Great community, great kids, great teachers, engaging classes. Diverse, welcoming, and laid back. A great place for smart, curious kids!

Finalist for upper school head? Overall head?

Are you at the other school that you know this?

If it’s overall head position, it makes sense. An opportunity arose that she wasn’t expecting.

US Head.

If that’s the case it’s concerning-the last us head announced she was leaving at end of year like 1 1/2 months in.

Just announced. US head leaving for Bullis. She had been there for years and was always looking for a way to go back. She had been open and transparent about it.

That may be true, but the lack of stability causes turmoil for the faculty, staff, students, and parents at SSFS. For the juniors, that will be a new US head each year of hs.

Newly named US Head has been at the school for 10 years, is current Assistant Head of US. Will be great!

She is great, but it’s still messed up!

New head is great - my kid said she’s a great choice and will do a great job. Their impression of the previous three was a teenage shrug.
