Division Head/Principal
We are excited to share news about the opportunity to serve as the next Head of Upper School, beginning in July 2024, at Tower Hill School in Wilmington, Delaware.
Founded in 1919, Tower Hill School is impressive by any standard. This superb Tower Tot-12 day school of 861 students boasts a beautiful modern campus characterized by stately buildings, including six playing fields, modern playgrounds, and all the facilities necessary to uphold its motto of, “Many Things Done Well.” While many EC-12 schools struggle to connect their students and faculty across the different divisions, everyone arriving in the morning at Tower Hill enters the school through the same central doorway. The students of all divisions of the school intersect and interact in many spaces in the connected buildings; students see each other every day and this helps to assure that each student is known and appreciated.
Working closely with a dynamic Head of School, Sarah Baker, and a talented and highly collaborative senior administrative team, the Head of Upper School will be charged with ensuring the overall excellence and future progress of Tower Hill School’s largest division of 340 students. Tower Hill School is bound by an understanding that students are expected to take an active part in school life and, later on, life in the adult world; to take chances within the caring Tower Hill community; to learn from their experiences; and then, to enrich the world in which they live. The next Head of Upper School will be an experienced, expert educator who is dedicated to going “all in,” capable of “modeling the way” joyfully for the various constituents within the community.
