Leadership
Cindy Rigling and Tracey Wood became Co-Heads of School effective June 1, 2021. Co-headship is a relatively new model within the education system, and it combines the experience, expertise, and personal and professional qualities of two excellent leaders. It allows two head teachers to share responsibilities, discuss problems and solutions, and share accountability in every area. Prior to the transition to a co-headship model, Cindy Rigling served as Head of Lower School and Tracey Wood served as Head of Upper School.
