Bishop Fenwick High School PRESIDENTIAL SEARCH COMMITTEE
February 6th, 2026 Dear Members of the Fenwick and St. Mary’s Communities, This week, Dr. Josh Vadala and Dan Walker (Fenwick '92) completed their campus visits, spending time at both Fenwick and St. Mary’s. This marks the completion of school visits by all four finalists in our presidential search process. We are grateful for the thoughtful engagement, hospitality, and candid conversations that took place throughout the past two weeks. Your participation has been invaluable. We kindly ask that you please complete the feedback surveys for Dan Walker and Josh Vadala by Sunday at noon. The Presidential Search Committee will carefully review all feedback and meet to discuss each candidate as we enter the final phase of the process. While there is no such thing as a “perfect” candidate, we feel truly blessed to have identified four finalists who bring strong professional experience, leadership ability, and a genuine desire to serve and lead our schools. We look forward to thoughtfully evaluating all four candidates and making a decision that best supports the future of Bishop Fenwick and St. Mary’s. As always, please feel free to reach out to me or any member of the Presidential Search Committee with additional feedback or insights as we work to conclude the process in the coming weeks. Thank you, as always, for your continued engagement, discretion, and support as we move forward in this important process. Sincerely, Jay Juffre ’90 Chair, Presidential Search Committee Bishop Fenwick High School & St. Mary of the Annunciation School search@fenwick.org
