Unbelievable that Taft has had only five Heads of School over 130+ years. Absolutely amazing.

For a variety of reasons , this year seems to be the year of the Head of School shuffle and transition throughout the Northeast . In particular, seems that independent day schools Head transitions accelerated more resulting from Covid - 19 impact and the particular school’s action plan or weak response . Day school parents can be demanding and vocal , when pushed.
