THE BEMENT SCHOOL

Fly on your own wings

Dear Bement Community,

 

On Monday afternoon, the Bement School Board of Trustees unanimously endorsed the candidate brought forward by the Head of School Search Committee. We are very pleased to announce that Michael Schloat has been offered and accepted the appointment as the next Head of School at Bement.

In his time as Interim Head of School, Mike has proven himself to be a thoughtful, capable, and compassionate leader. In five months, he has skillfully led Bement through the opening of the school year amidst a global pandemic, while instilling confidence with clear and transparent communication with faculty and staff. In a way, Mike has withstood a rigorous 150-day interview and has garnered support throughout the entire Bement community. 

 

We want to take this opportunity to thank the Head of School Search Committee and the entire Bement community for their support of the process and for being wonderful hosts to all the visiting candidates. We hope that each of you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday. Bement’s success over the past few months has been nothing short of amazing. It is a testament to the school Leadership Team’s steadfast guidance, the faculty and staff’s unwavering dedication, our students’ passion for learning and good grace, and most of all our Bement families’ selfless commitment to taking care of one another as well as our school. 

 

Stay safe and please join us in congratulating Mike and his family on his well-deserved selection as the next Head of Bement. We look forward to the years ahead.

 

 Sincerely,
