Leadership Search

After four and a half years of distinguished service, Ruth Jurgensen announced that she will be stepping down from her role as CEO of Prep for Prep to take on a compelling new professional opportunity.  The Board and Executive Committee leadership have convened a Search Committee to identify the best leader for Prep’s next chapter. We are grateful that Prep for Prep alum Jackson A. Collins, Ed.D (XII), who has held a number of roles at Prep for Prep over the past eight years, has agreed to serve as Interim CEO during the search process.
