Dear Laurel Community,
On behalf of the entire Search Committee, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude for your time spent engaging with our four Head of School finalists during their visits over the past two weeks. We recognize this investment of time and effort was significant, whether you joined us in person or virtually. Our search consultants shared with us that the attendance and engagement at the Town Halls and in the alum webinars far exceeded that of typical head searches—a tribute to the love, care and investment in the future that the Laurel community has for our school.

Each finalist expressed genuine appreciation for the warm and gracious reception she received, as well as for the meaningful conversations shared with so many of you. We heard repeatedly from the finalists how remarkable Laurel is—from assets such as our powerful curriculum, LCRG and Butler, to our poised and engaging students, to our brilliant, committed and caring faculty, to alumnae, parents, and other stakeholders who shared what this school means to them. Seeing the extraordinary dedication to and passion for Laurel’s mission that permeates every corner of our community had a huge impact on them. While it was a busy two weeks, we hope you were all energized, too, by being together in service of our wonderful school.
