  • Partner with colleagues across all departments to ensure clarity and consistency in all communications.
  • Develop and implement innovative strategies in order to demonstrate the value of a McGillis education.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders - including Head of School and colleagues in Advancement and Admissions, and the two school divisions - in defining and supporting communications goals and objectives.
  • Collaborate with the Director of Summer Programs to develop and implement communications around summer programming that will support the recruitment efforts of the School.
  • Oversee the development, design, distribution, and maintenance of all print and electronic collateral, including social media.
  • Review, revise, and update the School’s crisis communications plan and communications tools.
  • Oversee and manage departmental budget.
  • Serve as the School’s primary spokesperson with the media. Develop and maintain communications between the School and the media to promote newsworthy stories and activities, report significant student and faculty accomplishments and identify the School as a leader in education in the region.

  • Has knowledge of and experience with successful communications programs and plans
  • Has a demonstrated ability to interact effectively with and earn the respect of all the constituencies of The McGillis School community, including current and prospective families, the administrative team, staff, faculty, Board of Trustees, alumni, students, and friends of the School
