The Oliverian School
Haverhill, New Hampshire

The Oliverian School is pleased to announce Gregory Vogel's appointment as the Interim Head of School for the period commencing July 1, 2009. In this role, Greg will be responsible for daily operations, including human resources and related areas. Greg's responsibilities as Interim Head of School shall commence in July and continue until Oliverian's search committee has appointed a permanent Headmaster. Barclay Mackinnon will remain in the role of Head of School until July 1, 2009 to ensure consistency for the remainder of the academic year and a smooth transition of duties.

Mr. Vogel, currently serving as the Assistant Head of School, joined the Oliverian community in 2004 after working 5 years with Dartmouth College in the Dartmouth Development Office and Dartmouth College Men's Soccer. Mr. Vogel earned his BA at Alfred University in English Literature and Secondary Education. He continued his education at Western Maryland College where he earned his MS degree in Educational Administration. As Assistant Head of School, Greg's priorities have included faculty development, residential life, and managing daily operations. Greg also served as Oliverian's Dean of Students and Dean of Faculty during his first two years with the school.

Greg lives directly on the Oliverian campus at "The Homestead" with his wife Vajra and their four children: Maren, Gregory, Hannah, and Caelan. Greg is a firm believer that living on campus fosters valuable family integration with Oliverian students. Having worked with high school and college students at various developmental levels, Greg strengthened his belief that the education of today's youth flows from many sources, particularly outside the classroom.

"The Oliverian School offers the necessary environment to address the student as a 'whole person' and impact students in many areas beyond traditional academics. We inspire students to develop a real sense of character and their importance to this community, as well as the world around them. Too often, young people struggle with unlocking their strength and courage needed to achieve." It is Greg's belief that the most important work faculty accomplishes comes alive through the 'in between moments' of education when they can mentor, care for, inspire, and guide students toward triumphant life decisions and a genuine vigor for life.
