    Default job background
    Description

    SUMMARY
    Founded in 1839, Episcopal High School is the only 100% boarding school located in a major metropolitan area.

    Situated on a 130-acre campus just 7 miles from Washington, D.C., Episcopal has a highly rigorous college preparatory curriculum and high-caliber faculty that intentionally leverage the educational and cultural resources of Washington, D.C., to provide students with unparalleled experiential learning opportunities.

    With one of the nation's oldest high school honor codes, the school emphasizes intellectual, spiritual, physical, and moral growth in every student with a particular focus on the development of intellectual and moral courage.

    Episcopal's community comprises adults and students with a diverse array of life experiences and perspectives, which strengthens the learning and living experience for all.

    Episcopal High School now seeks an outstanding technology leader to run a mission-critical department that supports all faculty, staff, and students throughout campus.

    The director will oversee all aspects of IT and information systems, innovation, technology integration, and instructional design.

    Supervising a team of four technology professionals, this position reports to the chief financial officer and includes a generous compensation package and the opportunity for on-campus housing.

    Given the close-knit community of a boarding school environment, the director can look forward to participating actively in the life of the school.

    The entire community at Episcopal will be excited to welcome the next director of technology, who will hopefully be able to start later this summer.
