To PP's who pushed back at this post, maybe I'm wrong, but I actually took this post as a joke that was essentially trying to make the same points you made.... It seemed a 'dig' to our generally male dominated society (or at least male 'slanted' society) where these sorts of questions are asked of women in power and not of men.

Why? Very few female division heads at all-boys' schools-- this is noteworthy in the rather limited context of DC area private schools covered by this thread.

Wow. She is White btw...and extremely credentialed. If you want more diversity donate to Fa. Landon looked pretty diverse on my last visit.

Still, every step helps. Hiring a woman as a division head is a statement, and more importantly she sounds like a talented educator.

How do you know they still have a long way to go? Does your son attend Landon or is this just conjecture?

Agreed. But this new woman is certainly not the only women or person of color in the Landon community.

The new head will be a refreshing change and I know will be welcomed enthusiastically.

Nice guy, but afraid of parents and the board. Didn't make decisions.

What was the former middle school head like?
