Head of School Search

After six remarkable years of service to The Galloway School, our esteemed Head of School, Dr. James Calleroz White, will step down from his current position at the end of this academic year. He has accepted the role of Head of School at Dwight-Englewood School in New Jersey. 

We are immensely grateful for the many ways Dr. Calleroz White has enriched our community and strengthened the foundation upon which Galloway continues to grow and thrive, including: 

  • Spearheading COVID-19 protocols and return, allowing all students, faculty and staff to safely return to full-time, in-school learning for Fall 2020
  • Achieving SAIS reaccreditation in 2021
  • Leading 2021-2026 Strategic Plan and implementation
  • Expanding athletic facilities with the purchase and opening of new turf fields at NYO in 2024
  • Initiating and leading planning for construction of the new upper learning building; and 
  • Delivering unprecedented zoning for the school in 2024.

Dr. Calleroz White’s vision and dedication have left an indelible mark on Galloway, and we thank him for his contributions.

The Board of Trustees will convene a search committee to identify an Interim Head for the 2025-2026 school year to ensure continuity throughout the transition. The Board will also embark on an extensive national search to identify our next Head of School – a leader who will continue to enhance Galloway’s strong legacy and shares our dedication to joyful learning, inclusivity, and student-centered growth. Our goal is to have a new Head of School in place by July 2026. For updates on the search process, we invite you to visit our website where we will share the latest information: gallowayschool.org/headofschoolsearch.

Please join me in thanking Dr. Calleroz White for his service and wishing him and his family the very best in their next chapter. We look forward to celebrating his many accomplishments in the months ahead and to welcoming a new leader who will carry Galloway forward in our mission. 

I am proud to serve the Galloway community and Board of Trustees at such a pivotal moment in Galloway’s history, and I commit to giving everyone my very best.

Sincerely, 

Koboi Simpson
Chair, Board of Trustees
