In accordance with Valwood's policy for Headmaster Succession, the Executive Committee has established a Search Committee to conduct the process to identify a new Headmaster for our school. The Search Committee is to have full responsibility for managing the search process, which will conclude with its recommendation to the Executive Committee, and in turn the Board of Trustees, of a candidate for the Board to select as our next Headmaster.
As part of its work, the Search Committee has been asked to do the following as outlined by the Headmaster Succession policy:
-
Recommend to the Board of Trustees whether the school should hire initially an interim Headmaster for the 2010-11 school year (with the search for a permanent Headmaster to be conducted during that year) or, alternatively, to search now for a permanent Headmaster who would begin with the school July 1, 2010.
-
Recommend a search consulting firm for the Executive Committee to select to assist the school in its Headmaster search.
-
Identify the qualifications and attributes sought in a new Headmaster.
-
Seek the input of all Valwood constituencies - families, faculty, staff, students - as the Committee conducts its search process.
The Valwood family is encouraged to contact any of the committee member listed above with questions or input.

The Valwood Board of Trustees is very pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Lee Cox as the school's interim Headmaster for the 2010-2011 school year. Lee recently retired as president of Christ Church Episcopal School in Greenville, S.C. where he served as head of the school for approximately 10 years. We are really excited about having someone of Lee's caliber and background to lead Valwood next year and to assist us in transitioning to a new permanent Headmaster in the summer of 2011.
