Seven Hills School Welcomes New Headmaster
975 North San Carlos Drive, Walnut Creek
(925) 933-0666 - www.sevenhillsschool.org
Kathleen McNamara will begin her tenure as Head of School at The Seven Hills School effective July 1. Most recently, she has been Head of School at Tuxedo Park School in Tuxedo Park, New York. The Seven Hills School, an independent school serving approximately 400 preschool through eighth grade students, many of whom are from Lamorinda, was founded in 1962, and sits at the edge of Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek. "Kathleen is the perfect leader for Seven Hills," Sameer Hilal, chair of the school's Board of Trustees said, "with broad and deep experience in independent school teaching and leadership. She embraces the distinctive mission of Seven Hills, respects the school visionaries on whose shoulders we now stand, and will lead with an innovative spirit toward the future. We considered 65 candidates for this important post, from around the world, and we're confident we've found a great leader."
Hilal expressed his appreciation to Bill Miller, headmaster at Seven Hills for the past 23 years, who retired on June 30. "We are thankful to Bill for his exemplary service to Seven Hills," Hilal said. "When he arrived on our campus in 1992, he created a transformative vision of a school that would change the face of education in San Francisco's East Bay communities. He succeeded wildly and has our deepest gratitude."
