Progressive SF High School Appoints Experienced Finance and Operations Leader with Cross-Sector Expertise

Lick-Wilmerding High School is a private school with public purpose, serving 560 students in grades 9-12 in San Francisco. Since its founding in 1895 as a vocational school, Lick-Wilmerding has built upon a long tradition of valuing and integrating the liberal arts, sciences, technical arts, visual arts and performing arts to offer a robust college-prep curriculum. Today, the LWHS curriculum is both a catalyst and a vehicle for civic engagement, and the Public Purpose Program offers students the opportunity to contribute their time, talent, and treasure through partnerships with community organizations. Students demonstrate an unparalleled commitment to their communities, the motivation to deeply explore their interests, and a desire to positively impact the lives of others.

Leading a large portfolio of eight direct reports across multiple departments, the CFOO effectively manages time, resources, and strategy. The CFOO serves as a key thought partner to the head of school on strategic and long-term financial matters, to whom this role reports. The CFOO leads financial and operational discussions and initiatives with a deep commitment to and appreciation for Lick-Wilmerding High School’s mission and DEIB values.
