Kirsten Adams Appointed Head of School at St. Stephen's & St. Agnes
Dear Members of the McDonogh Community,
It is with great pride that I announce that Associate
Head of School and Head of Upper School Kirsten Adams has
been named Head of School at St. Stephen's & St. Agnes, a
highly-regarded K-12 school in Alexandria, Virginia. After a
combined 10 years as Head of Upper School at McDonogh and
Hockaday School in Texas, this is an exciting and well-
deserved career opportunity for Kirsten. She will begin her
new role on July 1, 2014.
Kirsten's departure from McDonogh is certainly a loss for
our community. As Head of Upper School for the past six
years, she has been a dynamic and thoughtful administrator,
fostering relationships among students and teachers and
empowering faculty to be innovative educators. As a result,
the Upper School continues to be recognized, both regionally
and nationally, for providing engaging, rigorous, and
inspiring academic programs.
In addition, as Associate Head of School, Kirsten has
been instrumental in the implementation of the campus master
plan and the completion of The Naylor Building and The
Edward St. John Student Center.
Kirsten has immersed herself in every aspect of school
life, and her energy and enthusiasm have been the force for
so much good. We will miss her and the entire Adams family.
Her husband Jeff, and children, Lily, Meg, and Colin are
also cherished members of the McDonogh Family.
Please join me in thanking Kirsten for her outstanding
contributions to the leadership of McDonogh School and
wishing her the very best in her new position as Head of St.
Stephen's & St. Agnes School.
In the coming weeks, we will implement a search for a new
Head of Upper School. Great schools attract and launch
amazing educators and administrators. Kirsten is a fine
example. I am confident that our search will be successful,
and we will find an individual who will lead with many of
the same outstanding qualities that Kirsten brought to this
position.
Sincerely,
Charles W. Britton
Headmaster
