Hormes will work closely with Head of School Ben Shifrin and the Board of Trustees on strategic planning and school policies.

“I am grateful to Jemicy for the countless opportunities I have been given. My teaching and administrative skills have developed, and I still have an outlet that keeps me involved with sports,” said Hormes. “I love what I do and plan to work here until I retire.”

“We are thrilled that Tim has taken on the role of COO,” said Shifrin. “With his administrative and education experience and nearly three decades at Jemicy, there is no one better to fill this position.”
