Board of Trustees

"I like to think about my upcoming position and the work of the Board through this optimistic lens I’m calling ‘the art of the possible.’ I’ve seen the dynamic ways the school has grown and changed — it's been pretty spectacular. But it makes me wonder, what else is possible? The Board has a strategic and fiduciary responsibility to make sure Agnes Irwin is robust and secure so it will be around for the next 150 years, so I am excited to grow the endowment to allow us to help generations of girls walk through our halls. What else can we do to further drive the success of this school? Some of my key priorities will be to foster the school’s continued innovation, including evolving the curriculum, so that Irwin’s graduates remain uniquely prepared for an ever-changing world. It’s a challenge to think about preparing students for a rapidly changing technological landscape shaped by AI — both PreK students who will graduate in 13 years, and the college-bound Class of 2026, who will likely join the workforce in four years.”
