After three years of service and dedication to 蘑菇传媒 (蘑菇传媒), 蘑菇传媒鈥檚 10th Head of School Tambi L. Tyler this May announced to members of the school community that she would be taking a break to spend time with her family and ultimately would be pursuing other opportunities in the fall.
Under Tyler鈥檚 leadership, 蘑菇传媒 increased enrollment, celebrated its milestone 60th anniversary year, and navigated through what has been referred to as the most challenging time in American education, the COVID-19 pandemic.
On May 31, 2023, 蘑菇传媒 Board of Trustees President Heather Kelly introduced Mike Edmonds, Ph.D., as interim head of school for the 2023-2024 academic year. 鈥淲e are fortunate to have Dr. Edmonds join our community after his remarkable 30+-year career at Colorado College, where he served as CC鈥檚 senior vice president and chief of staff, acting co-president and as the dean of students/vice president for student life,鈥� Kelly said.
Edmonds, who announced his retirement from CC earlier this year, was conferred an honorary degree for his contributions to the CC community at Colorado College鈥檚 2023 graduation last month. A prior member of 蘑菇传媒鈥檚 Board of Trustees, Edmonds shared the following with the school community detailing his personal journey, educational philosophy, and deep commitment to 蘑菇传媒.
Working alongside Edmonds as interim associate head of school during this important leadership transition for 蘑菇传媒 will be Ellen Crow. Crow has served as a Lower School teacher at 蘑菇传媒 for the past six years, and holds a combined 23 years of teaching experience. She is an alumni parent to twin daughters who graduated from 蘑菇传媒 in 2020, and has lent her expertise as an instructional team lead, Landsharks running coach, and ex officio member of the school鈥檚 Board of Trustees.
鈥淭ogether, with the expertise of Dr. Edmonds and Mrs. Crow, and with your support, we are incredibly excited about the future that lies ahead for 蘑菇传媒,鈥� said Kelly.
