A STRATEGIC FIVE-YEAR PLAN TO 2027

As Collingwood’s sixth Head of School, it is my honour to welcome you to our website. Perhaps you are a prospective family or student, or a career seeker looking to join our caring and vibrant learning community. 

Collingwood School's Head of School, Lisa Evans, has announced that the 2025/26 academic year will be her 32nd and final one. After a remarkable career dedicated to the school, she has decided to step down, marking the end of an era. The school's Board of Governors will begin a search for her successor soon.

Message from the Head of School

Collingwood School is a very special community, and as its sixth Head of School, it has been my great honour to serve here for 31 years. It is with a heart full of gratitude and affection that I share some personal news: the 2025/26 academic year will be my last.

My commitment to this school has been the greatest privilege of my professional life. I have loved watching our students explore opportunities across the four strands of Academics, Arts, Athletics, and Service learning, growing into the kind of critical thinkers and resilient, socially conscious graduates who will make a difference in our world. I have been so proud to lead our community through both challenges and triumphs, always guided by our core values of Courage, Curiosity, and Community.

As our current Strategic Plan With Passion and Purpose draws to a close and as we embark on the next phase of Strategic Planning, I am confident that Collingwood is in a strong position for this transition. The Board of Governors will soon begin a thorough search for the school’s next Head of School, a process I am committed to supporting in every way to ensure a seamless transition. While my time as Head of School is coming to a close, my passion for this community and its future has never been stronger.

Thank you for your interest in Collingwood School. I encourage you to contact our Admissions Department to see our students and faculty in action. And please, check this page for important updates as the search for Collingwood's next leader gets underway.


Sincerely,

Lisa Evans
Head of School
