No. 7//

June 8, 2001

The challenges of leading a private-independent school are increasing daily. Schools are offering more programs (curricular and cocurricular) than they did even five years ago. They are expected to provide more services designed to meet the needs of students (counseling and learning resources) and parents (extended day and summer programs). Annual fund drives are more intensive and capital campaigns more frequent. There are more faculty and staff to manage. In this “more, better, faster world,” as Head, you are expected to manage an expanding and complex set of tasks.
