A MESSAGE FROM BILLY COYLE
Dear Christchurch Family,
It is a great honor to be named as the Head of School at Christchurch. I am grateful and humbled for the opportunity to lead this great school in the years to come. Through our visits, and dozens of conversations, Mary and I have come to understand how powerful the experience of Christchurch School is and how the mission is lived out every day on this beautiful campus.
It is clear that the faculty and staff of Christchurch are passionate about the work of the school, about developing trusting and long-lasting relationships with students, and supporting them in becoming “compassionate, successful and engaged global citizens.” I am excited to continue to bring that mission to life, to continue the school’s success and growth, and ensure the sustainability of Christchurch long into the future.
Thank you to Board of Governors, the Faculty and Staff, and the Students and Families, for warmly welcoming me and Mary. I also offer a very special “thank you” to JEB and Lexi for their roles in shaping this exceptional institution. Their legacy will last forever. I am dedicated to carrying forward the traditions and foundations they have built for the school.
With Sincere Appreciation,
Billy Coyle
Head of School
