Head of School Search

Position begins on July 1, 2027

In 2025, Mary Warner informed the Board of Trustees that her five year tenure as Head of School at Berkshire Country Day School will conclude on June 30, 2027. The Head of School is collaborating closely with the President of the Board of Trustees, the Executive Committee, and the entire Board of Trustees for a planned transition focussed on stability and continuity.

As a first step in the important work, the Board of Trustees retained Lisa Parsons of Carney Sandoe & Associates to lead a national search for the next Head of School, spend time on campus, meeting with students, faculty, staff, parents, and trustees in order to understand the needs of our community and the School. This work culminated in a comprehensive Community Survey which was shared with the Community in August. This feedback informs the position description and outlines the characteristics sought in the next Head of School.

In addition, the Search Committee has been formed and is listed below.
