Welcome to the Paddington Station Head of School Search page. In November of 2022, our long-time head of school, Deb Deverell, announced her retirement after the 2023-24 school year. As we embark on the search for our next Head of School, our goal is to provide the community with continually updated information. We will share links to recent communications and other updates regarding community engagement opportunities.

Educational Directions will be visiting our campus on April 4 and 5. They have a packed schedule, which you can find here. During their time on campus they will visit classrooms, meet with faculty and staff individually, meet with the search committee and hold a townhall for families.
We would like to invite you to a town hall held in the foyer at Paddington on April 5, 2023 at 9am. There will also be a virtual townhall held on April 11 from 7:00-8:30pm. Broad community input is critical to facilitating a successful leadership transition so we hope you will be able to join us for one or both of the town halls.

December 2022 - January 2023
The Head of School and Executive Committee of the Board spent December and January thoroughly researching, interviewing, and vetting three national search firms. After careful review and thoughtful deliberation, Paddington Station hired Educational Directions to conduct the Head of School Search. Jay Underwood and Jerry Larson from EduDx will serve as Paddington's search consultants. They will commence work immediately, with the goal of having finalists visit the campus by mid to late fall 2023 and an announced appointment of the new Head of School by December 1, 2023.
