The Opportunity:
The Angeletti Group invites nominations and applications for the position of Head of School for the School of the
Blessed Sacrament (SBS).

The School of the Blessed Sacrament, which merged with the Sacred Heart of Jesus School in 2019, has two campuses located on the upper west side of Manhattan. It educates students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Operating under the Archdiocese of New York, the school is committed to educating the hearts and minds of its students while empowering them to embrace challenges in a loving, faith-filled environment.
The Head Of School:
The Head of School is the chief executive officer of the School of the Blessed Sacrament and reports to the Board of Trustees. The next Head of School must have a deep commitment to, and keen appreciation for, the values and traditions of Catholic doctrine and moral teachings. The successful candidate must be a strategic and visionary thinker with a transparent, collaborative leadership style. S/he must be an articulate and inspiring communicator, a successful fundraiser, an entrepreneurial recruiter, an innovative enrollment manager, and a seasoned, responsible financial manager.

Both the heads of SBS’s Lower and Upper Schools will report directly to this position. The primary responsibilities of these individuals are focused on the internal, day-to-day operations of their schools’ academic programming, faculty oversight, and student interactions.
