Woodlawn Welcomes Kevin Coale Assistant Director of Middle School
Please meet the newest member of our team, Kevin Coale. Kevin will serve as Assistant Director of the Middle School working in conjunction with Holly Honeycutt.
We first met Kevin as a candidate for the Athletic Director position. Everyone who met him quickly realized he would be an excellent candidate for many roles at our school. He has fourteen years of experience teaching History, and his special passion is teaching Middle School students. He has served as a Dean of Students, directed International programs, led Capstone curriculums, and created Middle and Upper School Student Leadership curriculums focused on hands-on, student-led, “learning by leading,” experiential approaches to coaching and nurturing the multifaceted elements of leadership that benefit all children.
We are pleased to announce that Meghan Tally will join Woodlawn School as Upper School Director. Meghan comes to us from The Archer School in Los Angeles, where she has served as Upper School Director. At Windward School and at the American School in London, Meghan served in leadership positions such as Associate Division Head, Associate Director of Teaching and Learning, and Department Chair. She is an accomplished school leader and teacher of English, Language Arts and Humanities, bringing to Woodlawn twenty years of teaching excellence in lower, middle, and upper schools.
We are excited to welcome Michelle “Shellee” Young as our new Athletic Director. Shellee brings to us five years of excellent experience as the AD at Linden Hall, an independent school in Pennsylvania, and twenty years, overall, experience as a Head Coach in Soccer, Cross Country, Track & Field, and as an Assistant Basketball Coach, at the high school and collegiate levels.
We are honored and delighted to share news of a landmark gift that will benefit every Woodlawn student, now and for generations to come.
