St. Andrew's Announces new Interim Head of School
St. Andrew's Episcopal School has announced Michael N. Eanes as the new Interim Head of School. Below is a letter from Board Chair Catherine Miller regarding this exciting news:
Dear Members of the St. Andrew’s Family,
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I am delighted to announce that Michael N. Eanes has accepted the position of Interim Head of School at St. Andrew’s, effective July 1, 2012. The Search Committee unanimously recommended Mr. Eanes, and the full Board of Trustees unanimously and enthusiastically approved this recommendation.
Michael Eanes is an outstanding leader who brings a wealth of experience to St. Andrew’s, both as a longstanding Head of School and as a seasoned Interim Head. Michael has served as Interim Head at eight different schools throughout the country, including his current position as Interim Head at Heathwood Hall Episcopal School in Columbia, South Carolina. Before his various Interim Head appointments, Michael served as Executive Director of the American Montessori Society for ten years. Prior to that, he served for fourteen years as Headmaster of The Gunnery, a coeducational college preparatory school in Washington, Connecticut.
Michael is committed to helping us achieve a smooth transition as we position ourselves for our next permanent Head of School. He understands and supports St. Andrew’s unique culture and its clear pronouncement of Episcopal Identity. Michael’s leadership style and his support of teachers will enhance our successful, child-centered mission. The Board is grateful to have found an individual with such depth of experience to lead us next year.
Michael and his wife, Susan, enjoy cultural outings to hear symphony and choral music, as well as visits to museums and libraries. I hope you will join me in welcoming Michael as the next Head of St. Andrew’s Episcopal School.
Warm regards,
Catherine M. Miller
Chair, Board of Trustees
