The search for our new Head of School has ended.  Starting July 1, 2011, Michael Silva will begin his first day as our Head of School.   According to Board of Trustees Chairman John Holliday, the decision to appoint Mr. Silva was unanimous.  "In his career he has been a courageous leader whose decisions have been marked by clarity, consistency, and a clear sense of morals and ethics."  Holliday also said "Mr. Silva will lead our school forward in line with our traditions, history, and mission."  Mr. Silva has been an educator for 19 years.  He has served in his current position as Norfolk Academy Lower School Director since 2007.  Prior to serving at Norfolk Academy, he was the Campbell Hall Lower School Director in North Hollywood.  We are looking forward to a great future in academic and character development with Mr. Silva as Head of School of Foothill Country Day School.
