President-Sacred Heart Greenwich

Sacred Heart Greenwich

Greenwich, CT

President

July 2021

Located on a beautiful 110-acre hilltop campus in Greenwich, Connecticut, Sacred Heart Greenwich is an all-girls, Catholic, independent college preparatory day school. Sacred Heart Greenwich provides a challenging, empowering, and inclusive learning environment for girls and young women from kindergarten through twelfth grade to prepare them to become confident, intelligent, and compassionate global leaders. The school offers a coed program for young children at the Barat Center for Early Childhood Education.

Founded in 1848, Sacred Heart Greenwich is one of the 200 worldwide Network of Sacred Heart Schools located in 44 countries. The 22 independent Network schools located in the United States share a common heritage and vision exemplified by a set of shared Goals & Criteria.

Additional information regarding this prestigious school community can be found on the school's website here.

This past Spring, the Sacred Heart Greenwich community's overall needs were identified through a lengthy and inclusive strategic planning process that involved Trustees, faculty, parents, alumnae, and administrators. Framed by the Goals & Criteria, the plan revealed the need for a new relationship-driven and collaborative model for school leadership to expand the breadth and depth of expertise at the organization's highest level.

To this end, the Board of Trustees implemented a new dual leadership structure for the School: President and Head of School. Under this new leadership structure, senior executive functions are aligned around two distinct school life facets: institutional capacity (President) and instructional leadership (Head of School). The President and Head of School have autonomous responsibilities based on the scope of their respective roles. However, the Board of Trustees anticipates that the success of this new model will rely on the collaboration and cooperation of the President and Head of School as co-leaders of Sacred Heart Greenwich.

Sacred Heart's new Head of School, Meg Frazier, arrived in July 2020. The Board of Trustees is now excited to focus on finding a dynamic, qualified leader to serve as the inaugural President of the Sacred Heart Greenwich.
