Dr. Maureen Fonseca
Guiding Masters st into the 21 Century By Debbie Shure P’07
After 15 years at the helm of The Masters School, Head of School Maureen Fonseca has decided to close this chapter of her life in education. As of June 30, she will end her tenure at the School —including her inimitable appearances dressed as Miss Masters for Founder’s Day. Maureen plans to take some time to reflect before looking for a new opportunity to contribute to the world of education. “It’s so hard to think of leaving a place that has become part of my heart and soul—and all of my thoughts, aspirations and dreams,” she said. “The School has been a place where I’ve learned so much, and I have loved working with all the different people. As an educator, I’m always in awe seeing students grow through the years and become such caring, purposeful and accomplished people in the world.
This has also been a journey where I’ve had the privilege and joy of seeing faculty pass through so many phases of challenge and success. Living on campus has allowed me to engage with faculty, welcome them to Park Cottage, and get to know them as people. There is such a warm and generous community spirit here—my family and I felt welcome and enriched from day one.” > >
