Ann Goewert, a math and science specialist at the helm of a private school in Silicon Valley, will be Mount Madonna School’s next head of school. She succeeds Mary Supriya McDonald, who retires July 1.
“Ann is a passionate educator with extensive experience and leadership in K-12 education as well as higher education,” said Sarada Diffenbaugh, president of the MMS board of directors, and a former, longtime MMS principal. “Ann’s selection has the unanimous support of our trustees. She brings to MMS her love of community, respect for cultural traditions, commitment to learning and a vibrant vision for our future. She is truly excited to join our school and share her successes in collaborative leadership, a track record of innovation, a belief that learning should be authentic and meaningful, and to tap into the passion and interests of students and educators.”
