The Board of Haddonfield Friends School is very pleased to announce the appointment of Sharon Dreese as the next head of school. Sharon will assume her new position as of 1 July, 2007.

Sharon has had extensive experience in Friends Schools. For 13 years, she was a senior administrator and Development Director at United Friends School in Quakertown, PA. She served as Interim Head in 1989. Since 2004 she has been at The Friends School of Atlanta, where she serves as both a Middle School teacher of Humanities, Science and Health and Director of Institutional Advancement

Many of you had a chance to meet Sharon when she was visiting Haddonfield Friends School last week and from the overwhelming sense of your comments, you are as delighted as we are that she has agreed to become the new head of our wonderful school. In the upcoming weeks, we will be sharing much more information about Sharon as we begin to think about this new era in the life of Haddonfield Friends with Sharon and with the greater HFS community.

The Board, with a great deal of input from faculty and parents, came to a unanimous decision about hiring her and we hope that the community will share our excitement about Sharon, her special gifts and her ideas about the future of HFS.

Foster Q. Doan, Clerk
