School Leadership

“Far Hills fosters a sense of community among students, parents, faculty, and staff. As the head of school, I play a vital role in nurturing our community spirit and creating an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Being part of such a close-knit community brings a sense of pride and belonging. Beyond academics, Far Hills prioritizes the holistic development of students, including character building, leadership skills, and social-emotional learning. I take pride in knowing our school instills important values such as integrity, empathy, and resilience in our students, preparing them to become responsible and compassionate citizens of the world. As a parent of two graduates, I see firsthand the impact a Far Hills Country Day School education can have on the next generation of life-long learners.”Georgia S.
