[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened to Jim Neill?[/quote]

Jim Neil has served as Landon’s headmaster for 11 years and his son graduated in the Spring of 2024. He also just completed a $54M Capital Campaign.

To the dismay of the Landon naysayers, [b]there is no story[/b].

The new headmaster resume looks impressive and will have big shoes to fill.

Congrats to the Landon community.[/quote]

I didn't mean to put you on the defensive, but why is he leaving and where is he going?  He's too young to retire, unless he kept a cut of the $54 million for himself.  It seems odd that Landon would dismiss a headmaster simply because a new candidate with an impressive resume came along.

Why do you get to determine he's too young to retire? Lots of HOS make moves once their kids graduate. Russell Shaw over at GDS is doing the same thing. They'll both probably take some time off, b/c being a HOS through/since covid has been a shitshow of a job, and then they'll do something else: interim headships, consulting, search. Lots of options for well respected heads.[/quote]
