The Staff
The Directors
Six co-directors collectively run the day-to-day operations of Holden. Each co-director also teaches, directly connecting Holden’s administration to the learning environment and enabling the school to work in a way that best meets student needs. The co-directors regularly consult with our core teachers, counseling interns, psychological consultants, student council, parent advisory board, board of trustees and student body about issues affecting the school community to ensure that the school is achieving its mission.
