WT Head Search Committee Survey

Dear WT Community,

I am writing today with an update regarding our Head of School search and a request for your participation in the process. The head search process is an important opportunity in the life of WT, one that our community is undertaking with both eager anticipation and great care.

As shared in our email on June 5, the WT Board of Trustees has retained Wickenden Associates in Princeton, New Jersey, to assist us with this search. Wickenden Associates has conducted more than 375 Head of School searches for a wide variety of schools across the nation. Senior Search Consultants Jim Wickenden and Jo Butler will be visiting WT to meet with the Search Committee, and to conduct a series of interviews with members of each of the school's constituencies later this month, and again at the start of our 2017-2018 school year. The information collected will help to develop a thorough understanding of our leadership requirements, and will also be used in the development of an opportunity statement that will inform potential candidates about this unique head of school position.

Your participation is very important to this process. We are eager to hear your thoughts about our school's strengths and challenges, as well as the qualities you think we should be seeking in our next Head of School. To this end, I encourage you to take just a few minutes to complete a brief survey available at the following link:

The online form may also be used to suggest potential candidates. Please complete this survey by Friday, June 23.

Thank you for your support and engagement as we undertake this important and exciting work on behalf of Winchester Thurston School. We will keep you informed with updates as the process proceeds throughout the summer and fall.

Sincerely,

Paul Rosenblatt
Vice President, WT Board of Trustees
Head Search Committee Chair
