What are the responsibilities and job description for the High School Director position at The Dalton School?
The Dalton School has contracted Resource Group 175 (RG175) in the search for a new High School Director, starting July 1, 2026.
The High School Director leads both the educational vision and agenda and the daily operations of the division. The role reports to the Head of School and sits on the school's exceptional senior leadership team. The three division directors–High School, Middle School and First Program–form a close-knit, collaborative “team within a team.” The relationship with the Middle School Director is particularly important, as the two leaders ensure smooth transitions for students, align curriculum, share a significant number of cross-divisional faculty and more. The Director leads the High School administrative team, faculty and staff. This person plays a key role in admissions for the division, representing the division in public events and sitting on the admissions committee. (Most high school students continue from Dalton's 8th grade, and around 20 new students enter 9th each year from other schools.)
