Leadership

Head of School

 

Our Head of School, Katie Marion, is the face of Cambridge Friends and an important leader for our faculty and staff, families, and students. We are fortunate to have Katie Marion as our Head of School! She has been at CFS for over 25 years, and she brings those years of experience as a classroom teacher, administrator, committee member, and parent to her role as Head. Her nuanced understanding of how to build curriculum that fosters critical thinking and deep learning, how Quaker values are woven into the activity of the classroom, and how essential our teachers are in this work is vital to achieving our mission. Her intrepid leadership helps shape the day-to-day running of the school and inform the longer term trajectory set by the Board of Trustees. The faculty and staff, students, and families are under the care and the responsibility of the Head of School.

 

Board of Trustees

 

Our Board of Trustees is a dedicated group of individuals who come from all areas of the Cambridge Friends community: Quakers, parents, local community leaders, and more. The Head of School is an ex officio member of the board, and the board has two faculty representatives as well. As part of our definition as Quaker school, at least 51% of our board must be practicing Quakers.

 

The Board of Trustees is entrusted with the long term vitality of the school and primarily focuses on strategic direction, including finances and sustainability, fundraising and major giving campaigns, major building projects, in line with our mission. The Board is also responsible for supporting and overseeing the work of the Head of School. 

 

Much of the board’s work is accomplished by committee and ad hoc task forces on specified issues as needed. Committee membership and leadership is determined by the Committee on Trustees. The current committees are:

 

  • Executive Committee

  • Finance Committee

  • Development Committee

  • Diversity Committee

  • Buildings and Grounds Committee

  • Marketing Committee

  • Quaker Life and Outreach Committee

  • Committee on Trustees
