Dear CCES Community,
 
With great enthusiasm, I am very pleased to announce that the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to appoint David Padilla as the ninth Head of School for CCES beginning in July of 2020.

David’s appointment marks the end of a seven-month, international search process during which the Search Committee met several exceptional candidates. In a highly competitive field, David’s passion for independent school education, energy for the pursuit of excellence, and curiosity for learning made him the clear choice. Throughout the process the search team pursued candidates who embodied the values that are at the core of CCES:  Character, Community, Excellence, and Service.  We also sought candidates who possessed attributes recommended by our community and characteristics that make CCES special: educating the whole child through our Episcopal Identity, a passion for athletics and the arts, the commitment to creating an inclusive community, nurturing a committed and caring faculty, and academic excellence.

Dear CCES Community,

I trust each of you are well and enjoying the beautiful weather.  It’s the perfect time of year--post pollen and pre-intense heat so I hope you’re each able to get outside and enjoy it.

Dear CCES Community,
 
I hope you are all doing well and looking forward to a happy, restful winter break.  Before you go, I wanted to offer a quick update on the Head of School Search.
