On April 5th, 2010, former TBS Head of School Janet Stork passed away after a seven month fight with cancer. In her 3+ years here, Janet transformed the school in so many ways, from our understanding of child development, to what it means to be a professional learning community, to how the Board should function. Janet was a champion of professional development, a voracious consumer of research, and a fearless advocate for children. Under her leadership, the school began the process of re-invention and transformation that lead to our current mission and school name. Janet and I didn't always agree on what to do about certain issues, but she was always willing to listen deeply and push me on the rigor of my own thinking. As a student of leadership, she truly modelled how to be a visionary leader who worked in service of others. Thank you, Janet, for our time together.
