Title Change at the Top

From Principal to Headmaster to Head of School

The first six leaders of the school had the title of principal. According to his son, Bob, when “Doc” Lamborn was at the helm, the State Board of Education told him he did not have the professional training required to use the title “principal.” So, he changed his title to Headmaster. Over time, the use of the term Headmaster fell out of favor and Dave Farace ‘87 became the first to use the title Head of School.
