EAGLE School is searching for its newest director.
We are beginning the search for our next director, a process that honors our current leadership while looking ahead to the future. Throughout this process, we are committed to a thoughtful, inclusive search that reflects the values of our community and the aspirations we hold for our school.
A Collaborative Process
Selecting our next director is a responsibility best shared across the community. This search is intentionally collaborative, bringing together input from our constituent groups, including members of the Board, faculty and staff, students, families, and the broader EAGLE community.
Guided by an experienced facilitator, Debbie Millon of Educators Collaborative, we are engaging in a thoughtful process that values multiple perspectives while maintaining clarity and purpose.
Through structured opportunities for feedback and dialogue, we aim to identify a leader who not only brings strong experience, but who also understands and embraces the culture, values, and aspirations of our school.
This approach reflects what matters most to us: a commitment to listening, a respect for community voice, and a belief that strong leadership begins with strong relationships.
What’s next
As we move forward in the search process, we are beginning to gather input from our parent community.
EAGLE parents were recently invited to complete a survey, and we look forward to continuing these conversations in person during Debbie Millon’s visit to campus on May 6 and 7. During this time, she will lead listening sessions with members of our community and meet with the Board, seeking insight into EAGLE’s culture, core values, and the qualities and skills we hope to see in our next Director.
We warmly invite parents to participate in one of the following on-campus sessions:
~ Wednesday, May 6 · 3:25–4:15 p.m. (All ages)
~ Thursday, May 7 · 8:00–8:30 a.m. (Parents of students in grades K–4)
~ Thursday, May 7 · 8:30–9:00 a.m. (Parents of students in grades 5–8)
Parents are welcome to attend any session that fits their schedule, regardless of their child’s grade level.
Search Committee
EAGLE Board members Wendy Johnson (Chair), John Stoneman, Mary Olsky, Matt Thiel, Manish Patankar, and Ellen Bunn.
