The St. George’s School Board of Trustees announced Friday that they appointed a new head of school.
According to a press release, Alexandra Callen will become the twelfth head of the school when she begins her tenure in July 2017.
Callen, who has a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Brown University, as well as a master’s and doctorate from Harvard University, will also become the first woman in the school’s history to hold the position.
“I am honored and humbled to be asked to serve as St. George’s next head of school,” Callen said in the release. “The chance to lead this highly professional faculty is a tremendous opportunity. To do so with the endorsement of a dedicated and supportive board is icing on the cake.”
The 120-year-old boarding school, which is located in Middletown, has made headlines in recent years, as authorities launched an investigation into widespread sexual abuse reported by former faculty members and students.
