SUMMARY
In the heart of San Diego lies Francis Parker School, a dynamic and innovative educational institution with an abundance of ambition, energy, and vision. Each day, over 1,300 students from JK through grade 12, along with hundreds of faculty and staff, arrive at Parker’s two large campuses. Over the last two-plus decades, the school has undertaken a nearly $125M capital campaign to transform the Linda Vista Campus, which houses the middle and upper school students. Soon, a similar campaign will begin for the historic Mission Hills Campus. Parker is committed to providing an innovative program to its diverse student body, and with these exciting projects underway, the need to take a long-term approach to financial strategy and treasury management has never been more important. Parker is eager to welcome a collaborative and strategic assistant head of school for finance, who will serve as the school’s de facto chief financial officer.
The assistant head of school for finance will work with the head of school, the board of trustees, and the Parker Leadership Team (PLT) to meet the long-term financial goals of the school. Additionally, the assistant head of school for finance will oversee departmental budget priorities, provide support and mentorship to a team of direct reports, and bring a student-centered approach to Parker’s financial strategy. With other new administrators joining the PLT this fall, the assistant head of school for finance will have the opportunity to establish collaborative and transparent relationships with each department in the school.
Parker is excited to welcome its new assistant head of school for finance this summer. This individual will be embraced by a team of devoted leaders, passionate parents and families, and exceptional students at one of the leading independent schools in San Diego.
