Trinity Valley School is excited to welcome their new Head of School!
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we are thrilled to announce that Ben Courchesne will be our next Head of School beginning July 1, 2025. The Head of School Search Committee unanimously recommended Ben following a far-reaching, nationwide search – a process during which Ben stood out for his breadth of experience, student-centered leadership style, and alignment with TVS’s mission and values.
Ben comes to Trinity Valley from The Pingry School in New Jersey, where, as Associate Head of School, he helps to lead advances in the school’s strategic priorities, academic and student life, donor relations and development of the senior leadership team. Ben has a proven history of fostering academic excellence, driving institutional growth and cultivating strong school communities, all of which make him highly capable and attuned to our mission of nurturing a lifelong love of learning.
The search committee was particularly impressed by Ben’s diverse experience across academic, operational, student-life and athletic leadership at top-tier independent schools. We are confident that Ben’s dedication to student growth and well-rounded approach to leadership will help to bring Trinity Valley School into a new era of success, building upon our strong legacy and fostering a thriving learning environment for all students.
In the coming weeks, we will share more about Ben’s plans for returning to campus and getting to know our students, families, faculty and staff.
We applaud the excellent work of our Head of School Search Committee, led by Amar Tanna and Laura Miller, our search firm, The Education Group; and all the members of the community who welcomed Ben and our other visiting candidates to campus during this process. Thank you for making this a truly collaborative process.
We look forward to seeing Trinity Valley School continue to grow and flourish under Ben’s leadership. Thank you, as always, for being a part of our community.
