Rachel Stettler of The Winsor School is Our Speaker This Week

Rachel Friis Stettler is the seventh head of the Winsor School, continuing a strong tradition of visionary women as school leaders. She continues to forge and share a compelling vision for Winsor’s future; “what matters is the kind of women our students will become,” she writes, “and that their futures are open to boundless possibility.”

Her Winsor Leadership

The school’s progress during her tenure reflects her understanding that even the best of schools cannot stand still. She has led Winsor through a comprehensive campus planning process and spurred significant investment in core areas from academic technology to student support to faculty development. Under her leadership, Winsor has also expanded its sights far beyond its campus, creating new exchanges and establishing clear “Principles of Global Responsibility.”

Giving Voice to Community Values

In public addresses and Assembly talks, she articulates her sense that Winsor’s bright, motivated students bring their whole selves to school. Believing firmly in girls’ potential as leaders, she invites students to take active and visible roles in the school community. Her intellectual curiosity, personal warmth and community engagement mirror Winsor’s spirit.
