Recognized by her peers as an effective school leader, St. Margaret’s Head of School Margaret R. Broad was selected to share her professional expertise with Jason Colombe, a master’s degree student at Columbia University.Master’s degree student Jason Colombe, formerly of the Highland School in northern Virginia, spent two days in mid-January shadowing Broad. He attended faculty and academic team meetings, as well as chapel and individual appointments with faculty and staff. To better understand the ways in which Broad is effective as a school head, Colombe also interviewed Assistant Head for School Life Cathy Sgroi and Board of Governors Chair Sarah Belle Eason Parrott. “I wanted our students to study outstanding heads of school who would serve as role models for them as they launch their careers,” said Pearl Rock Kane, Director of the Klingenstein Center for Independent School Education at Columbia University’s Teachers College. Colombe now will prepare a comprehensive analysis of Broad’s leadership as his final project in the two-year program. Broad was one of a small group of independent school heads who were nominated for the honor by at least two individuals in different parts of the country, Kane said. A former Klingenstein Fellow, Broad has headed St. Margaret’s since 1989. She is the president of the National Coalition of Girls’ Schools, former chair of The Association of Boarding Schools and a current member of the Virginia Association of Independent Schools’ Membership Committee. In addition, Broad has sat on the boards of the Virginia Committee of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the Virginia Association of Independent Schools and the National Association of Principals of Schools for Girls. |
