July 2024
NORTHFIELD MOUNT HERMON, ESTABLISHED ON THE PRINCIPLES OF INCLUSIVITY AND COMMUNITY, IS SEEKING AN AMBITIOUS, INNOVATIVE, AND STRATEGIC VISIONARY WITH DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRINCIPLES OF EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND JUSTICE (EIJ) TO JOIN THE SCHOOL AS THE NEXT DEAN OF EQUITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE.
“At NMH, we reflect often on our highly aspirational mission. Together, we strive to act with humanity and purpose with every step. Success depends on our willingness to engage with and lean into our values — inclusivity, learning for life, and service. We know well that moments will test us and, yes, we will find ourselves in situations when our mission proves to be more aspirational than attainable. These are the very moments that afford us all profound growth opportunities. It is one of our school’s unique strengths — our willingness to ask the difficult questions, hold ourselves to high standards, and embrace the hard work required to learn and grow.”
—Brian H. Hargrove, Head of School
