National Cathedral School Announces New Head of School

10/10/19—The National Cathedral School (NCS) announced its Governing Board unanimously selected Dr. Elinor Scully as the 12th Head of School.

Currently serving as Head of The Langley School in McLean, Virginia, Elinor has emerged over the past several years as a nationally recognized thought leader in independent education, and in particular, in social and emotional learning. During the search process, Elinor impressed the Governing Board with her strategic vision for promoting a supportive school culture at NCS; developing each girl’s academic, emotional, and spiritual strengths; and supporting continued excellence in teaching and learning.

Elinor will begin her service at NCS on July 1, 2021. Sue Bosland, who formerly served on the NCGS Board of Trustees, joined NCS as the interim Head of School in July. In recognition of her service to the community, the Governing Board named Sue the 11th Head of School and she is extending her tenure at NCS through June 30, 2021.
