Challenging girls to become women of 
intellect, character, innovation, action, and faith

Head of School Search

Sister Rogers’ charism of the mission and commitment to the work has made a lasting reality of St. Madeleine Sophie Barat’s vision. The legacy of these formidable women is ours to experience, to protect, and to grow.

The Board of Trustees at Newton Country Day School has launched a search for the next Head of School. A committee, chaired by Elizabeth Morey Blecharczyk ’01 and Ellen M. Harrington ’77, will partner with the firm of RG175 to identify and vet candidates. The search will be a thoughtful, mission-focused, and comprehensive process. It requires engagement and support from our community to identify the next steward of St. Madeleine Sophie’s vision. This opportunity to ensure and advance the legacy of Newton Country Day School is approached with gratitude, hope and fidelity. Updates regarding the search will be shared here throughout the process.
