Dear Members of the Saint John's School Community,
As our head of school search moves into its final stages, we anticipate a very busy and exciting period ahead. We are thrilled to announce that three outstanding finalist candidates will visit our campus over the next three weeks. Each candidate visit will span two full days and include opportunities to interact with the administrative team, faculty, staff, students, and parents.
We encourage you to participate in the process by welcoming our candidates, learning more about them, and helping to enhance their understanding of and appreciation for Saint John's School. The purpose of these visits is not to determine whether the candidate is qualified-we have already made this determination. Instead, the campus visits are to determine cultural fit with our school. These visits will provide multiple additional touch points for the Board of Trustees to consider when making its final decision. Please keep in mind that you will have an opportunity to submit an online evaluation after each visit. Your thoughts are considered at every step of the process, and we welcome any feedback before, during, or after the candidate visits via email at
headsearch@sjspr.org.
Reaching this final stage of the search is the result of a thorough and intentional process, and we are excited for our broader community to meet this group of highly talented candidates. Thank you for your engagement and support during this important time in our school's history.
Our parent community is invited to a Meet and Greet with the three candidates in the Carrady Center. Due to space limitations, we ask that you register below for each event you will attend.
Candidate 1: Thursday, January 26, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Candidate 2: Monday, January 30, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Candidate 3: Thursday, February 9, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Due to the confidential nature of the search process, candidate names and biographical sketches will be emailed to you one day before the visit.
I look forward to seeing you at our Meet and Greets, and I hope you will be as delighted to meet our finalists as we are to present them to you!
Best wishes,
Nazli Iqbal
Chair of the Search Committee
