Dr. Barbara Tischler left Trinity at the end of the school year. We thank her for her contributions to the School and wish her well in her future endeavors.

Barbara Tischler will serve as Trinity's associate head for academic affairs, effective 1 July 2012. She will be charged with ensuring the effectiveness of the two most significant processes in a school: the design and implementation of our K-12 academic curriculum; and the professional development, support and evaluation of our teachers. Holding undergraduate and graduate degrees in music as well as an MA and PhD in history from Columbia University, Barbara is a musician and scholar who has been a teacher for over three decades in higher as well as secondary education, teaching courses ranging from middle school geography to graduate-level American studies. In addition, she has also served as an administrator in higher and secondary education, working for the past fifteen years as a teacher and administrator at Horace Mann School, where she is currently director of curriculum and professional development.
