HHH February 14, 2024
Dear Happy Hollow Families,
It is with mixed emotions that I write today to let you know that I have been offered and accepted the newly created Lower School Dean position at the Rashi School in Dedham, for the 2025-26 school year.
The Rashi position intrigues me as it allows me to grow my passion for collaborating with teachers and students while integrating both my education and faith values. I've been an Assistant Principal in Wayland for six years, four of them here at Happy Hollow, and I can truly say that I walk in every day, excited to be in this building, working with your incredible students alongside these inspiring educators. Helping to lead this community is a privilege that I have never taken for granted.
Ms. Foundas will be posting for this position soon and conducting a full search to fill this vacancy.
Thank you for your continued partnership over the years. I'm so grateful to have been a part of this very special school.
Warmly,
Rachel Scott
Assistant Principal, Happy Hollow School
