Dr. Hotchkiss currently serves as the Associate Head of Academics and the Director of Upper School at Marlborough School in Los Angeles, California, a nationally recognized girls’ school.

“The first time I read the school’s core values, rooted in Catholicism and committed to the lives of young women and their development, I knew that our philosophies were closely aligned.
