Head of School Search, October 9, 2014

Michelle Shepherd, Search Committee Chair

Dear Tower Hill community,

As you know, the Search Committee spent the better part of the summer reviewing potential candidates. During September and October, we had several of the most promising candidates along with their spouses on campus discreetly, in keeping with many of the confidentiality concerns I have mentioned earlier. We 
have been thrilled with the quality of the candidates we have met, and  we are eager for the entire Tower Hill community to meet them!
 
We are currently working to coordinate dates for each of the finalists to return to campus publicly. During those visits, all members of the Tower Hill community will be invited to meet the candidates. This is a great opportunity for you to get to know the candidates and, also, for the candidates to see what makes Tower Hill so special. 
 
While it is ultimately the responsibility of the Search Committee to determine which candidate to recommend as our next Head of School, we are very interested in your impressions of the candidates. Following the finalists’ visits, you will be invited to complete an online questionnaire to share your thoughts and perspectives on each candidate. 
 
If you have any questions or concerns about the process, do not hesitate to contact me. If you have missed our prior communications about the search process, please visit the Head of School Search page on the Resource Board of TowerNet to bring yourself up-to-date in advance of our meetings. 
 
We are entering an exciting phase of the search and are looking forward to introducing the candidates to you. 

Sincerely,

Michelle D. Shepherd
Search Committee Chair
Member of the Board of Trustees
Parent, 2020 and 2022
