About
St. Paul’s EPISCOPAL SCHOOL
WACO, TX
Founded in 1956 with a vision for a school of strong Christian values and high academic standards, Saint Paul’s has built a proud legacy of excellence for nearly 70 years. Located alongside the parish of Saint Paul’s, Waco’s oldest, continually used, church building, the School provides a rigorous, well-rounded education that develops the whole child in mind, body, and spirit. Episcopal values of inclusivity, inquiry, and character formation shape daily life, while small class sizes and dedicated faculty foster intellectual curiosity and academic achievement. Over the decades, the campus has grown to include the Carolyn Haluska Memorial Library, a computer lab, and a modernized academic building ensuring that students benefit from both tradition and innovation. Whether in chapel, classroom, or community, Saint Paul’s offers a welcoming, faithanchored environment committed to nurturing inquisitive minds, compassionate hearts, and resilient spirits in the heart of Waco.
Position
The next Head of School will embrace the unique strengths of the parish day school model, championing academic excellence, fostering innovative programs, nurturing a close-knit community, honoring Episcopal values, and building strong partnerships with both church and school. This is an exciting opportunity for a mission-driven, relational, and innovative leader to guide a thriving community into its next chapter, shaping academic achievement, spiritual formation, and community engagement. The successful candidate will bring proven leadership experience in preschool, elementary and middle school academic programs, with the ability to inspire and support exceptional teaching and learning. An engaging and approachable personality, coupled with strong communication skills, will be essential in building trust and collaboration across faculty, families, parish partners, and the broader community. Prior experience in an Episcopal parish day school is strongly preferred, as the next Head must fully embrace the spiritual ethos and traditions that define Saint Paul’s identity.
