Head of School Search
Rooted in the Dominican tradition and guided by the vision of the Adrian Dominican Sisters, Rosarian Academy’s mission and values are at the heart of everything we do. As an independent Catholic school, we are led by a dedicated Board of Directors and fully accredited by the Florida Catholic Conference and the Florida Council of Independent Schools.
For nearly a century, Rosarian Academy has provided a rigorous academic program in an environment that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. Our mission is clear: to educate the whole child for life—developing individuals of faith, character, and leadership who are prepared to serve with purpose and compassion.
Rosarian is more than a school—it’s a joyful, close-knit community where faith, learning, and service come together to form a foundation for life.
Our school is thriving, with enrollment on the rise and a renewed energy across campus. This growth reflects Rosarian’s reputation for academic excellence, spiritual formation, and a vibrant student experience from Montessori through Grade 8.
As we celebrate our Centennial year, we’re also celebrating growth: the addition of new classrooms, enhanced outdoor play areas, and future-forward upgrades to our facilities—all designed to foster collaboration, creativity, and connection.
Our athletic program is growing in strength and spirit, with students developing teamwork, discipline, and confidence on and off the field. Whether on the court, track, or turf, our Raiders represent Rosarian with pride.
Student life at Rosarian is as dynamic as ever. From service initiatives and leadership opportunities to retreats, fine arts, and clubs, our students are actively engaged and developing the skills and values to make a meaningful impact in the world.
At the core of our success is a loving community—where students, families, faculty, and staff walk together in faith and friendship. This shared commitment to excellence, joy, and compassion is what makes Rosarian Academy truly special.
At Rosarian Academy, we believe in the inner goodness and potential of every child, educating the whole person in light of Gospel values to provide a foundation for life rooted in prayer, community, study, and service.

What is the role of the Search Committee?
The Search Committee is responsible for leading the search for Rosarian Academy’s next Head of School with guidance and support from Partners in Mission search firm.
The Search Committee will review candidate applications vetted by Partners in Mission and conduct interviews with semi finalists and finalists. The Search Committee will coordinate opportunities for the community to meet the leading candidates and then review feedback, references, and background checks before submitting a recommendation for the President to the Board of Directors.
The Committee will ensure that the search process is thorough, fair, transparent, and inclusive. A key role of the Search Committee is to keep the Prep community informed and engaged throughout the search process while respecting the confidentiality of the candidate recruitment process.
What is the role of the Board of Directors?
The Board of Directors will vote on the candidate recommended by the Search Committee. If approved, the recommendation will be submitted to Dominican Veritas Ministries for final approval. Once all approvals are in place, the Board will formally extend an offer to the candidate.
How can Rosarian Academy’s community participate in the search process?
The Rosarian Academy community is being invited to participate in a survey designed by Partners in Mission. The survey will allow all constituents to share input about Prep and the search process. In addition, Partners in Mission will schedule in-person meetings with the various members of our community including parents, students, and alumni.
The community is encouraged to stay engaged in the process by following updates sent from the Search Committee and posted on this webpage. Once the finalists have been announced, faculty, students, parents/guardians, and alumni will be invited to open meetings with each of the candidates. Feedback following these open meetings will be used to inform the Search Committee.
