After 27 years as the leader of Greene Street Friends School, Ed Marshall will be retiring at the end of the 2022-2023 school year.

In addition, GSFS has enlisted Storbeck Search (a Diversified Search Company) to lead the national search for this position.

- Solicit community input

- Interview semifinalists
- Interview finalists (on campus)
- New Head of School, July 2023
