Private school with a public purpose in SF seeks inaugural dean of technology.

SUMMARY

Lick-Wilmerding High School is a private school with public purpose, serving 560 students in grades 9-12 in San Francisco. Since its founding in 1895 as a vocational school, Lick-Wilmerding High School has built upon a long tradition of valuing and integrating the liberal arts, sciences, technical arts, visual arts and performing arts to offer a robust college-prep curriculum. Today, the LWHS curriculum is both a catalyst and a vehicle for civic engagement, and the Public Purpose Program offers students the opportunity to contribute their time, talent, and treasure through partnerships with community organizations. Students demonstrate an unparalleled commitment to their communities, the motivation to deeply explore their interests, and a desire to positively impact the lives of others.

The ideal dean of technology is a visionary and collaborative leader, responsible for overseeing all aspects of Lick-Wilmerding High School’s technology strategy and operations. This is a new position for the school, as the school has not had a director of technology for approximately two years. The dean of technology will oversee three major aspects of the school’s technology program: instructional technology, data/systems, and information technology, ensuring alignment with institutional goals and priorities. The school has a relationship that currently runs through into the fall with Knowing Technologies, a third-party technology consulting firm that has been supporting a limited number of higher-level engineering projects and upgrades behind the scenes.

As a senior leader reporting to the head of school, the dean of technology will work closely with faculty, staff, and administrators to develop and implement a strategic vision for instructional technology that enhances the school's mission. Data/systems is an area of growing importance for the school and a priority for many department heads, who are committed to institutional research methods and want to make data-driven decisions across all areas of the school. On the IT side, the dean of technology will oversee a network administrator and part-time help desk technician.

The head of school is seeking someone who can help oversee and coordinate all efforts in these areas, ensuring a cohesive and forward-thinking approach. The dean of technology will prioritize relationship-building, maintain a visible presence within the community, and create an inclusive technology environment that advances the school's unwavering commitment to equity and student engagement. Lick-Wilmerding High School is excited to welcome its inaugural dean of technology on July 1, 2025, or earlier by mutual agreement.
