The next Executive Director & Head of School will honor what makes Sugar Bowl Academy exceptional while building the clarity, capacity, and community required for its future. The priorities ahead are both ambitious and deeply connected.
Our school, athletic programs, and residential community are parts of one institution. Strengthen each, lead them in concert, and tell one cohesive story so students, families, staff, donors, resort partners, and the broader community understand the role they play in a shared mission.
Lead the next phase of strategic planning and become its chief storyteller - with families, staff, donors, alumni, partners, and prospective students. This is a community ready to be inspired and a story worth telling.
Champion the Dual Pathway
Continue raising the bar in academics and athletics: inspire faculty and advance a rigorous, innovative curriculum while ensuring every athlete receives the coaching, training, and support worthy of national-caliber ambitions.
Develop and Sustain an Exceptional Team
Our people make the mission possible. Deepen ownership and collaboration, invest in professional growth, and help address the realities of mountain-town employment - including housing - so exceptional people can build lasting careers here.
Sugar Bowl Village and the extended Sugar Bowl community have a long tradition of investing in this school. Build the personal relationships that turn belief into transformational support, including the campaign that will fund the Academy’s long-term campus vision.
At its best, Sugar Bowl Academy runs on energy: the anticipation of race mornings, the joy of park laps, and a community that shows up for its students. Deepen that culture—one where coaches invest in the classroom, teachers cheer in the finish corral, and every student feels known and supported.
Expand Our Reach + Impact
Build national awareness and enrollment demand among mission-aligned student-athletes. Strengthen the pathway from Sugar Bowl Ski Team to the Academy and translate momentum into durable enrollment, engagement, and financial health.
Shape a Signature Boarding Experience
Make residential life at 7,000 feet a true differentiator: an experience families actively seek, students are proud to call home, and the entire Academy community embraces.
Leverage an Unmatched Resort Partnership
Few school leaders anywhere have a mountain as a campus partner. Serve as a trusted member of Sugar Bowl Resort’s leadership community, strengthen day-to-day collaboration, and make decisions with the long-term health of the broader Sugar Bowl ecosystem in mind.
Build the Next Generation Campus
Shape and execute the facilities master plan - aligning program needs, capital priorities, investment, and fundraising to create a campus worthy of Sugar Bowl Academy’s next era.
