San Mateo CA United States JUNIPERO SERRA HIGH SCHOOL Full time

With the announcement of Barry Thornton, Ed.D. stepping down from his role as Serra’s president, we have begun the search process for his successor at Serra High School. We have engaged the services of Partners in Mission School Leadership Search Solutions, a nationally recognized and acknowledged leader in executive searches for Catholic and independent schools. The search will be led by Michael Furey, Partner, who brings deep experience and expertise as educational leaders of Catholic education in California. As search consultants, they have conducted a large number of Catholic school leadership searches.

Serra seeks a president who is a visionary and strategic leader, responsible for the Catholic identity of Serra High School. This person will oversee the overall operations of the school. The next president will maintain and model our Catholic ethos, mission and traditions; preserve and advance the school’s exceptional educational program; delegate appropriately; guide our dedicated faculty and staff; value and articulate the school’s special qualities of a diverse and caring community, and lead Serra in the development of our key strategic priorities.

Junípero Serra High School is an exceptional, Catholic, college-preparatory high school for boys. Located in San Mateo, in the heart of the Peninsula between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, Serra welcomes students of all faiths and backgrounds to bring their gifts and talents to campus and enrich the diversity of this distinguished and highly respected school community. Currently, 863 young men call this amazing campus home.

In partnership with parents and guided by our Catholic faith, Serra provides a transformational high school experience that offers boys a vision of faith, hope, love, mercy, and justice. Its legacy spans nearly 80 years of excellence in Catholic education and includes more than 13,000 alumni.

This leadership transition will occur at a favorable time for the community as Serra is well positioned for tremendous success moving forward. Over the past five years, the leadership completed the Strategic Plan, Transforming Lives , that outlines a bold vision for the future. This work was incorporated into Serra’s Educational Improvement Plan and was affirmed by the WCEA-WASC accreditation visiting team who awarded the school the highest level of excellence in all measured categories. Serra is also heading toward completion of the Always Forward Capital Campaign, the most successful campaign in the history of Serra. To date, Always Forward has raised more than $34 million toward a $38 million goal, remaining on track to close out the campaign by summer 2024.

The ideal candidate will have significant executive leadership experience, expertise in financial and business management, exemplary communication and relationship building skills, and be skilled at engaging and inspiring constituents and stakeholders to further support its mission. He or she must be experienced with strategic planning and have the requisite executive-level experience to lead a school community. With a visible presence inside and outside of the school community, the President will be the catalyst in advancing the strategic marketing and advancement initiatives of this distinguished Catholic school community.

The search team is on a fast track to identify and secure the school’s next President.
All inquiries and applications will be treated with the highest degree of confidentiality and the greatest respect.
Contact Mike Furey, Lead Search Partner, to schedule an informal, confidential conversation today. Candidate Information:
