Head of School Search

With the June 2018 announcement that Alona Scott will leave Keys School at the end of the 2018-19 academic year, Keys began the search for her successor. We deeply value Alona’s devoted service and commitment to Keys, and we look forward to celebrating her many accomplishments during this school year.

One of the most important roles of the Board of Trustees at an independent school is to select a new Head. After careful consideration of several search firms, the Board has chosen to work with consultants Bob Fricker and Burke Zalosh from the educational search firm Carney, Sandoe and Associates. Bob and Burke’s experience and approach to the search process are a great fit for the Keys community, and we are delighted to be partnering with them.

At Keys, our search is being led by a committee chaired by Amy Schneider, a trustee and parent of a fifth grader. You will find a full list of committee members below. The Board of Trustees is deeply committed to finding a leader who embraces our strong mission and essential values, and guides us forward in our work of helping children grow into their best selves.

Thank you for your support throughout this important process for Keys. We are committed to keeping you informed and involved as we go through the stages of this search, and will provide information and periodic updates on this webpage. Please feel free to contact the committee at any time if you should you have any questions: searchchair@keysschool.org.
