Earlier this school year, current President, Sr. Rosemary Herron, announced she would be stepping down as Mercy Tech's longtime leader. Sr. Rosemary served the school community for over 25 years, first as Principal and then as the first President. Under her guidance, this unique Catholic school community has continued to flourish, fulfilling its mission of graduating competent, compassionate, and contributing members of the global community. Because of Sr. Rosemary's leadership and the support of passionate and engaged business partners, Mercy Tech is well-positioned for an exciting and promising future. Recently, constituents and stakeholders of the school community recognized her commitment to the school by hosting a reception where more than 160 donors contributed over $510,000 in her honor to ensure the continued excellence and affordability of a Mercy Tech education.
The President is the school’s Chief Executive Officer serving as president of the corporation, assuring the school’s faithfulness to its unique mission and its sustainability. The President is the spiritual and educational leader, responsible for managing the strategic vision, policies, and finances to ensure a safe, merciful, Catholic learning environment that meets the approved academic and CTE curricula and mission of the school.

The President is accountable to the school’s governing bodies, the Mercy Education System of the Americas, and the local Board of Trustees.
The ideal candidate will be able to articulate a direction and priorities for the school through the implementation of its strategic plan and have experience in utilizing business opportunities within professional, trade, and other community organizations. As a visible presence within and outside the school community, the President must be able to advance the marketing and advancement initiatives of the school. Ideally, the successful candidate will have significant executive leadership experience, the ability to articulate Mercy Tech's value proposition, and demonstrated ability in acquiring funds through soliciting major gifts, planned gifts, and capital campaign contributions. Candidates should possess exemplary communication and relationship-building skills that inspire confidence and collaboration.
Finally, the new President should have a passion for advancing the mission of Catholic education, particularly the career and technical education of young men and women in the Sisters of Mercy tradition, possess an understanding of the President/Principal model of administration, and be comfortable working with a committed Board of Trustees, the Sisters of Mercy, and Mercy Education.

Head of School - Saint Saviour Catholic Academy, Brooklyn, NY
“Small school, big heart” are the words Saint Saviour Catholic Academy uses to capture its special culture and spirit. Indeed, Saint Saviour is a unicorn of a Catholic elementary school: small by design in its intimate, three-story brick home; progressive, responsive, and advanced in its curriculum and instructional approach; and, inclusive and welcoming to students and families of diverse backgrounds and faiths. Half of the student body identifies as non-Catholic, and 63% are students of color.
Located in the historic and highly desirable Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, Saint Saviour is a nursery through 8th-grade school, enrolling 318 students from most zip codes in Brooklyn as well as families from Queens, Manhattan, and New Jersey. Families choose Saint Saviour because of the safe, close-knit, loving, and welcoming community that represents the diversity of a major metropolis, all within a faith-based and nurturing environment. It truly feels like an extension of home. The youngest to the oldest students are actively engaged in learning, joy-filled with their classmates and teachers, and honing interests and talents from a robust band and choral program to mindfulness activities appreciating God’s creation in the nearby Prospect Park.
Founded in 1906, Saint Saviour became an independent school with a governing Board of Trustees in 2012. The Board has recently announced a strategic leadership shift to a “Head of School” model and has launched a nationwide search for this position. As with the majority of independent schools, the Head of School will report to the Board as its sole employee and will oversee the strategic direction and vision implementation of the Academy. The Head of School will ultimately onboard a Director overseeing the instruction and curriculum of the Academy, which had previously been under the direct purview of the Principal. This leadership structure will allow the Head of School to focus time and resources on the strategic dimension of the school itself: marketing and bridge-building to new and prospective parents, stewarding and cultivating the school’s donor base, and generating innovative, mission-aligned initiatives to allow Saint Savior to maintain its value-add advantage in a competitive school landscape.
The next Head of School will inherit the sunsetting of a 2022 - 2025 strategic plan as well as the completion of a recent $2 million capital campaign for a state-of-the-art rooftop playground.
Interested candidates can begin exploring this exciting leadership opportunity by contacting Kyle Pietrantonio at kpietrantonio@partnersinmission.com. All inquiries and applications will be treated with the highest degree of confidentiality and the greatest respect.

The CBC student population represents a diverse cross-section of socio-economic levels, ethnic backgrounds, and academic achievements.

Throughout its prestigious history, CBC has served the academic and cocurricular needs of tens of thousands of students. In 2003, and in response to its growing enrollment demand and need for additional facilities, the community built its expansive state-of-the-art facilities on its 45-acre De La Salle Drive campus in the suburbs of St. Louis. Today, nearly 850 young men grow intellectually, spiritually, creatively, and physically within a spirited and supportive school community.

The President leads and articulates the school’s mission and vision, creates, and implements strategic plans, and builds and nurtures constituent and stakeholder relationships on and off campus. The President also bears ultimate responsibility for the school’s Catholic identity and is supported by a robust senior leadership team in carrying out these responsibilities.
The Board welcomes candidates from other Catholic, charter, or independent schools as well as accomplished executives from various mission-critical career venues such as higher education; non-profit foundations, associations, charities and the like; or the corporate, civic, and professional services arenas. While knowledge of education and school operations is preferred, other qualities and experiences are also valued, especially visionary, entrepreneurial leadership and the ability to inspire, lead a high-performing team, and create demand for the extraordinary gifts of a CBC education as it prepares to celebrate its 175 year history in 2025.

The school was founded on the belief that we are persons uniquely gifted by God. Students are given the opportunity to acquire knowledge and to recognize and develop their God-given talents within the context and tradition of a Catholic, co-educational community. The school community believes that the experience of a Christian environment, where the virtues of love, respect, unity, and dignity are expounded, enables each one of us to accept Jesus as a model and teacher and to understand the message of the Gospels.
It’s an exciting time at St. Michael as it transitions to the popular President-Principal model. In this increasingly popular structure, the Principal reports to the President and serves as the day-to-day leader of academic operations, including all aspects of the student experience – from the classroom to the playing fields, to faith formation and extracurricular programming.
