Dear Readers,
From The Head of School
10/21/2024

Dear Ellis Community,

I am filled with an overwhelming sense of anticipation and excitement for the many interactions I will have with the students, parents, grandparents, faculty and staff, and alumnae of the Ellis community in the upcoming school year. I believe in the strong connections and foundation that have been built within the halls of Ellis, and I’ve seen how that extends to the greater Ellis community. I know that through our collective commitment to each other, we will continue to grow in many positive ways.
