Please participate in our "Head of School Search Survey" before June 30

Dear Mayfield Senior School Community,
 
As summer begins, we wanted to share an update regarding our search for a new Head of School for the 2023-24 school year and ask for your participation in this project. Our work with RG175, represented by Tom Hudnut and Arlyce Seibert, has begun in earnest! Tom and Arlyce had a robust and joy-filled day on our beautiful campus last Friday, June 17. They met with administrators, faculty, staff, students, alums, parents, former parents and Trustees. Their conversations were thoughtful and helpful in shaping the position description that will be circulated this summer. 

Now, we want to hear your feedback as well! We are asking you to complete our Head of School Search Survey*, to share your opinions about the current state of Mayfield Senior School, the challenges and opportunities ahead, and the professional and personal qualities you feel are important in the next Head of School. We hope that you will take this opportunity to have your voice heard in this important process. The results of the survey go directly to the consultants who will then provide the Search Committee with an analysis of the data they receive. All respondents will remain anonymous, unless you choose to share your name in the survey. The survey will be open through Thursday, June 30.
