Hyde Schools Reorganizes Leadership Team

Hyde Schools Reorganizes Leadership Team
1/21/2008
Bath, ME/Woodstock, CT—Two education veterans and a faculty member/ administrator with more than a decade of experience will comprise a leadership trio who will oversee Hyde Schools’ college-preparatory boarding campuses in Bath, ME, and Woodstock, CT, in school year 2008-09.

In an effort to reconfigure Hyde’s boarding school administration and create “one school with two campuses,” Hyde President Malcolm W. Gauld ’72 Bath recently appointed an executive leadership team who will work together to further strengthen delivery of Hyde’s unique brand of family-based character education to students and families in grades 9-12. The team members are: Laura Denton Gauld ’76 Bath, Donald W. MacMillan, and Robert C. Felt ’90 Bath.

A New Executive Leadership Team
The Hyde-Bath search process began late last summer, after Laurie Hurd announced that this would be her last year as Head of School. Shortly after we began to give consideration to the scores of candidates who responded to the ads placed in national publications, we also began to perceive the search process as an opportunity to unify Bath and Woodstock more strongly and thereby continuously improve the unique brand of character education we offer at Hyde. We have always described Bath and Woodstock as "one school, two campuses," and yet in many respects the schools have operated independently, sometimes even in competition with each other. In the spirit of Hyde's belief in synergy – "1+1=3" – we began to envision a new executive leadership team that would work together to inspire this synergy at Bath and Woodstock. This executive team consists of Bob Felt, Laura Gauld, and Don MacMillan.
