[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HOS shouldn’t make as much as they do. They deal with some shitty situations, tough choices, and have to sell the school. But the teachers really make the school. They have the daily parent & student interactions, community building, support systems, etc all on their back. Maybe some HOS are really integrated into school life but most aren’t. Schools need to pay their teachers more to compensate for all of that. [/quote]

The HOS is the one that makes sure division leadership is strong and that teachers are excellent. They also raise the money beyond tuition that keeps your school running. The best also set the tone and culture at your school.  [/quote]

Not these days. In 2024, a head mostly fundraises. It's the division heads and individual departments that choose the candidates and the head approves them.[/quote]

But the head is the one who hires the the division leads. We have seen this over time at multiple schools and the HOS's that make the best hiring decisions of the division heads and has strong leadership messaging on what they want those heads to emphasize in hiring are doing the best job.  The entire culture of a school should flow down from the HOS.  The school where the HOS was mostly doing fundraising and not doing a good job at being a leader on messaging for the tone of the school and the focus of the division heads and mission on hiring teachers - leads a school that rests on its laurels of reputation and has led to unhappy experiences for students and a complete lack of community.  If your HOS just chases money for fundraising and DC power players for prestige, they are NOT doing a good job. [/quote]
