    Opportunities & Expectations for the Next Head of School


    St. Mark's Episcopal School is a mission of St. Mark's Episcopal Church. For 45
    years, the school has provided a values-based Episcopal education coupled with
    excellence in academic preparation. Accredited by the Florida Council of Independent
    Schools (FCIS) and a member of the National Association of Independent Schools
    (NAIS) and the National Association of Episcopal Schools (NAES), St. Mark's
    adheres to the highest standards of Episcopal and independent education.
    To build a foundation for the success of the next head of school, the board has appointed Scott Laird, former head of St. Mary's Episcopal School in Tampa, to serve as the interim head of school for the school year. The next long-term head of school will be an Episcopal educational leader who is student-oriented and experienced in unifying a school community around the mission and a vision for the future.

    The next head of school will have the opportunity to preserve the traditions embraced by the St. Mark's community while advancing the educational programs for future generations of students.

    Opportunities and expectations for the next head of school include:


    • Establishing an inspirational vision that supports the Episcopal identity
    of St. Mark's Episcopal School and promotes the educational programs
    needed to prepare students for high school and beyond.
    • Collaborating with the school constituents to develop a strategic plan and tactics to strengthen the unique identity of St. Mark's School.

    • Developing a plan that attracts, on-boards, and supports outstanding faculty and
    staff who will be committed to extended careers at St. Mark's Episcopal School.

    • Enhancing and aligning educational and spiritual programs across all grade
    levels, with a commitment to honoring time-honored traditions and practices
    while driving programs that prepare students for an ever-changing world.

    • Ensuring that athletics, the arts, and other co-curriculars provide
    students with opportunities for enrichment and growth.

    • Identifying a clear market position, including a public articulation of the value
    of students staying at St. Mark's Episcopal School through 8th grade.

    • Communicating both internally and externally the unique brand and value proposition
    of St. Mark's while becoming the school's public face and chief cheerleader.

    Candidate Attributes & Experiences
    The new head of school will be a student-oriented, high-energy leader capable of engaging the greater St. Mark's community around a well- articulated vision. Being a confirmed Episcopalian, or committing to becoming confirmed upon appointment, is a prerequisite for the position.

    In addition to the above, the successful candidate will demonstrate:

    • A passion for providing students with an outstanding faith-based education that balances academic with spiritual formation

    • Strong executive leadership with both internal and external communities

    • Outstanding communication skills in both writing and speaking

    • The ability to consider and manage multiple perspectives while having the courage to make difficult decisions and to say "no" when necessary

    • An aptitude for building strong teams, including the appropriate delegation and
    clarification of responsibilities, setting clear expectations, and upholding accountability

    • Conflict resolution skills, including the ability to listen and honor differing views while working to reach common ground

    • The ability to unify a community around a bold vision, with a special focus on strengthening the school's reputation

    • Transparency in decision making and authenticity in all relationships

    • A commitment to creating and promoting robust professional development opportunities for teachers and staff

    • Enthusiasm for developing and implementing strategic fundraising plans and initiatives

    • Approachability and visibility, creating a strong sense of psychological
    safety for all members of the school community

    • Strong business acumen with an understanding of both
    operational and strategic financial practices
