Head of School Search
Update From The Administrative Transition Team
The Administration Transition Team has been working hard over the last several months on the TMS Head of School search. Our collaboration with Carney, Sandoe & Associates has been successful in bringing excellent candidates to our interview process. Extensive interviews have been conducted, and the current step is bringing candidates to our school campus so they can get to know us better. Visitors are following all COVID health and safety policy and procedures required by TMS. Tests are conducted prior to visits, masks are worn, and distancing is maintained.   
 
Candidates receive an in-depth tour of our school by a team member, observation time for classes, and meetings with faculty and administration. This is an important part of the search process so that the educational philosophy and culture of TMS can be felt first-hand. It is a time to share how great TMS is and continue to determine how each candidate could be a good match for our school. 

The search process continues to progress productively, and we are pleased to welcome candidates to TMS.
