Lindy Williams has brought energy
and empathy to her first year as head
of school at St. Margaret’s. Building on
Margaret Broad’s 24-year tenure in the
job, Williams has worked to enrich student
opportunities and to build enrollment.

Kirsten Adams will soon be arriving
at SS&SA as the new head of school.
She will apply her experience from
several private schools, including the
National Cathedral School, to the
challenge of building on a remarkable 30
years of service by Joan Holden. During
that time, a school with a significant
debt and a great deal of deferred

maintenance evolved into a virtually
debt-free school with an endowment
approaching $30 million.

More fully integrating the outreach
and creativity of Church Schools into
the diocesan family could lead to new
ideas for education and formation.
There’s also a lot we all could learn
from a school like St. Margaret’s, whose
motto is, “As we grow in age, may we
grow in grace.” t

At St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes School in Alexandria, students must complete a 40-hour
outreach project before graduation. Here, students and faculty plant a tree during
Earth Week 2014.
