    Description

    Manlius Pebble Hill School (MPH), the independent school of Central NY, seeks an experienced and collaborative educator and leader to become its next Director of College Counseling.

MPH educators prioritize the importance of building strong, meaningful relationships with students in a trusting environment, and the Director serves as counselor to each member of the graduating senior class (currently between 30-40 students).

    At MPH, a student's social and emotional well-being is central to our Mission of inspiring students to think critically, act responsibly, and discover a passion for lifelong learning, and the successful candidate will be able to reflect and demonstrate those priorities in their professional practice. Like colleagues, they will relish being a joyful presence in the lives of school-aged children, and set a tone of genuine affection for people including adult colleagues, alumni, parents, trustees, and the broader CNY community.

    This is a full-time, 12-month staff position. with excellent benefits including medical, dental, and life insurance as well as an employer-matching retirement savings plan.
