Friends School Appoints Innovative IT Leader
The Quaker School at Horsham
Located about 40 minutes north of Philadelphia, The Quaker School at Horsham (TQS) champions learners with complex challenges, building individualized paths to futures filled with possibilities for students with ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, expressive and receptive language disorders, and anxiety disorders. TQS serves just under 100 students from kindergarten through grade 12, along with a Real-World Ready program for students 1-2 years out of high school. TQS is a place where students who struggle in mainstream environments shine; students find the right-fit path forward to fulfilling their full potential.
Over the years, TQS has recognized the need to responsibly and appropriately invest in technology, in a way that complements its student-centered, high-touch educational program. TQS deploys MacBooks to its faculty, and iPads and Chromebooks to students depending on the grade level. Meanwhile, classrooms have digital whiteboards and other adaptive, assistive, and instructional technologies.
TQS sought an IT director to oversee and manage all IT/IS operations, systems, and support. The IT director replaced a third-party managed services provider (MSP), which had supported the school for many years but departed at the end of 2024. The IT director reports to the CFO. The school was eager for the new IT director to start late fall of 2024, so that a graceful handoff can occur with the outgoing MSP.
The Quaker School at Horsham was thrilled to welcome Shaun Pall to the position.
