Dear Thacher Community,

 

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Deba Palma as our interim Head of School effective July 1, 2018.

 

As you know, Deba is a longtime and well-respected member of the faculty and administration at Thacher. She knows our school and children well. She has a deep love for our school and shares our commitment to maintaining its course and strength through the 2018-2019 school year.

 

Some will ask why we are not ready to name a permanent head of school. Our answer is simple: we will not compromise; we continue our work seeking the best appointee to guide Thacher's future.

 

As the search continues, we are providing continuity and leadership for the 2018-2019 school year. We believe that continuity is vital for Thacher and we know that Deba will provide stability as our interim Head of School through 2018-2019.

 

Please join us in thanking Deba for her willingness to step into this leadership role.

 

Warm regards,

 

Thacher Montessori Board of Trustees
