PROVIDENCE – Lincoln School has welcomed Suzanne Fogarty as its 16th Head of School.
Fogarty worked at Berkeley Carroll’s Upper School in Brooklyn, N.Y., where it was named an NAIS School of the Future in 2012. She also taught at St. Ann’s School and the Brearley School, all based in New York City.
According to a news release, “[Fogarty] brings to us her passionate commitment to Lincoln’s programmatic strengths, as well as visions to expand and partner with many of the exciting academic and nonprofit institutions in our vibrant Providence community. Her time spent in lower, middle and upper schools in her years as a teacher and administrator gives Suzanne the breadth of knowledge essential to guiding our school, from the youngest to the oldest.”
Fogarty was appointed as Head of School in March 2013; she spent a year working with interim head, Ann Sullivan, to ensure a smooth transition.
Since July, Fogarty started initiatives including India 2015, a partnership with the Rhode Island School of Design offering “Introduction to Architecture” to grades 10-12, and the online school for girls.
During the search process, current and former colleagues endorsed Fogarty’s ability to build relationships with students, families, faculty and staff, and the community more broadly, as well as her passion for finding and eliciting the best in adults and young people.
Lincoln School is an independent, college preparatory school with a Quaker heritage offering all-girls educational programs for grades 1 through 12, and a co-educational early childhood program (nursery through kindergarten).
