Dear Parents,

It is my great pleasure to announce that Ms. Erin Leonard will be our next Head of Lower School commencing in July 2014. Ms. Leonard comes to Tyler from the prestigious Hewitt School in New York City. I look forward to introducing Ms. Leonard to the All Saints community at a reception later this spring. I also wish to thank the dozens of faculty members, administrators, and parents who participated in this selection process. Ms. Leonard was the consensus choice to fill this important position at All Saints.

Erin Leonard has enjoyed a distinguished career of over twenty years as an educator, accumulating experience and accolades that will serve her well in her new role. She has served as Kindergarten teacher, 3rd Grade teacher, and Grade Level Coordinator for both at Hewitt over a ten year period. Prior to her work with Hewitt she taught Lower School students for a number of years at the American School of Milan - Milan, Italy. Ms. Leonard completed her undergraduate work at Villanova University following with an M.A. in Elementary Education from The College of William & Mary. This summer Ms. Leonard will complete an M.S.Ed in School Leadership from the University of Pennsylvania. Ms. Leonard is a native of New Jersey and aside from being a passionate educator enjoys the fine arts and good cuisine.

Ms. Leonard is very excited to become part of All Saints future. Her statement of philosophy quotes John Quincy Adams..."If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." Her colleagues have described her this way..."she is an extremely hard worker with a strong moral compass"..." Erin excels as a math teacher. She has an extraordinary ability to inspire a love for math within her students"...." Her wonderful creativity and knowledge of technology helps to motivate her students and especially those who have different learning styles."

Again, it is my pleasure to bring you this good news! I hope you will join me in welcoming this New Yorker to East Texas!

Sincerely,
