Head of School

Dear South Kent School Community,

As I begin my tenure, I want to thank you for entrusting me to serve as your next Head of School. I have had the honor of working alongside the Board of Trustees, Lawrence Smith, and the dedicated employees of South Kent School for the last 18 months, and I look forward to building on the great work we have already accomplished together. 

I will dedicate myself to continuing our progress by realizing the needs of our people, programs, and place and supporting the growth and advancement of all aspects of School life. As we move forward into this momentous Centennial year, I plan to meet with as many community members and alumni as possible, both on campus and across the country. I hope to listen and learn from all of you while laying the groundwork to execute the School's strong Strategic Plan to guide South Kent into the start of its second century and become an industry leader in small-school, all-boy education.

Our aspirations are high as we enter our 100th year with the recognition that to succeed in the future, we must embrace innovation while staying true to our core values. I am prepared to proudly lead our School forward with this goal while remaining steadfast in our Mission, Trinity of Values, and commitment to higher learning.

Thank you to every one of you for your part in making South Kent School so special. While this Hillside already feels like home, I am honored and excited to be welcomed alongside my wife, Liza, and sons, James and Hank, into the incredible South Kent community. 

Brian D. Sullivan
