Dear Grace Community,
I am excited to be joining Grace as the new Head of School! Since moving to Houston last year, I have heard from all families I have met in the area what a wonderful community it is. As a parent of a current PK4 student, I was already well aware of Grace’s nurturing, engaging environment. The interview process gave me a more complete picture of the dedication and care that goes into all aspects of GES to make it the wonderful experience it is for all students.
I was immediately drawn to the caring, committed staff and members of the church who engaged me in thoughtful conversation about how to build on Grace’s many strengths. It was immediately clear in my meetings with board members, administration, and staff that all have a shared passion for making Grace an exceptional institution. I am excited to bring my background in TESOL, special education, and general education to work with administration and staff on enhancing Grace’s curriculum. My most recent experience working in an Episcopal school will help me cultivate one of independent schools’ strongest assets: the partnership between school and families.
My husband, two daughters (Penelope, 4 and Molly, 7 months), and I live in Westbury, and I cherish the opportunity to live and work in the same community. I am so excited to work collaboratively with staff and parents. I take seriously the fact that education is the foundation of lifelong learning. I am honored to be Grace’s new head of school. I look forward to joining Grace’s community in a few weeks and getting to know you all.
Warmly,
Caitlin Powell
