Why Woodward?
"At Woodward, we're more than a school - we're a close-knit family where every girl is seen, heard, and finds her voice. With our 4:1 student-teacher ratio and small classes of 8-10 students, we foster an environment where kindness and leadership flourish, and no one walks alone at Woodward. As Head of School, whether I'm teaching leadership to our middle schoolers or driving the van to basketball games, I see firsthand everyday how our supportive community empowers young women to rise and lift others up with them."
