St Johnsbury Academy selects new assistant headmaster

Academy Headmaster Tom Lovett has announced that Jeffrey S Burroughs, a former Vermont resident now serving as Director of Curriculum and Instruction at the Hyde School in Bath, ME, has been selected as St Johnsbury Academy's new Assistant Headmaster for Academics, effective July 1. Burroughs will replace Judith Kelley, who will be leaving the post at the end of this school year to take a sabbatical year. A graduate of Champlain Valley Union High School, Burroughs grew up in Williston, and was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Clarkson University, in Potsdam, New York, in 1989, and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Vermont in 1991.

Burroughs brings a wide variety of both education and corporate experience to the Academy post. As Hyde's Director of Curriculum and Instruction, he was responsible for creating and maintaining all aspects of the independent boarding school's academic environment, including developing and instituting a multifaceted leadership program, overseeing teacher hiring, training and assessment, and curriculum development and scheduling.
