On May 23, Maura Farrell, pictured below with the Class of 2022 in fifth grade, announced that she will step down as Sophia Academy's Head of School in June 2023. In a letter to the community, Farrell wrote:
"I will always be proud of the work we have done together, and humbled by the trust you have placed in me. Even in a pandemic, we advanced our school. To ensure we remain relevant and responsive to our changing world, and that Sophia maintains financial sustainability, in the last year we established five Strategic Priorities and launched a 20th Anniversary Campaign, raising more than $4 million.
Our time together has resulted in several proud accomplishments, including strengthening our foundation, investing in our people, and broadening our programs."
The Board of Trustees has established a search committee including representation from the Trustees, staff, parents, and alumnae, and they have begun the process to recruit candidates.
