Our Work at Spring Hill Schools

Spring Hill Schools is an independent school serving students from toddler to 8th grade. It is set on three campuses in Petaluma, California.

Their visionary Head of School sought my services to conduct an advancement appraisal in the spring of 2023 so she could better understand what is working in their program, what needs refreshing, and what might require some innovation.

Following the completion of the appraisal, I was retained to support the re-boot of their Annual Fund and to assist the Head by interviewing candidates for the new Director position.

Our work continues as I support the new Director during her first year.
