Trinity School seeks internal candidates to lead its Physical Education and Fitness Department beginning November 2, 2026 through April 30, 2027.

In brief, the PE & F Interim Department Head is responsible for 1) direct oversight of department instruction, grades K-12, ensuring appropriate coherence, continuity, consistency, and quality; 2) collaboration with colleagues, principals, Assistant Head of School, and Head of School in mentoring new teachers; 4) supervision of departmental staffing and scheduling, budget, equipment supplies and purchases,  substitute teaching arrangements, and other departmental policies and procedures; and 5) especially close collaboration with the Athletics Director, in terms of staffing coordination.  While the

PE & F Department Head routinely works with and reports to the divisional principals, the PE & F Department Head is directly supervised by the Assistant Head of School.

The ideal candidate recognizes the incredible importance of teaching our children the joys and benefits of physical movement and health; a strong teacher whose education and experience have inspired wisdom and vision about curriculum as well as pedagogy; a skilled administrator attentive to the needs of the department and its members, as well as to the needs of students and the School; an approachable colleague who values collegial relationships and seeks to create a healthy professional environment; a committed “school person” who possesses intellectual and professional curiosity, openness to others’ ideas, eagerness to extend themselves for others, and an unfailing sense of humor.  The School seeks candidates who will embrace both the challenges and opportunities implicit in honoring the multiple educational commitments and aspirations expressed in the School’s mission statement, “Our Idea of Excellence.”  Candidates with successful department leadership experience are preferred.

Interested internal candidates should submit a resume and cover letter outlining their professional qualifications and readiness for this position.

Applications are due by Tuesday, September 15.
