Message from the Head of Schools Search Committee
December 18, 2019
Dear Sacred Heart Community,
Sacred Heart Schools is well positioned as a school leader within the Sacred Heart Network and the city of Chicago. On October 30, 2019, Nat Wilburn, Head of Schools, announced his plans to transition from his role on June 30, 2021. A Search Committee comprised of Board members has been appointed by the Board of Trustees to spearhead the efforts to recruit and interview candidates for the Head of Schools position. The Committee began its work by developing a thorough search process and continues to meet regularly to ensure that the process remains on track.

Another important responsibility of the Advisory Council is to be liaisons back to the SHS community. It is anticipated that interviews with potential Head of Schools candidates will occur in January and February of 2020.
