Episode Synopsis

In today’s episode of Articulating, we are thrilled to welcome our first head of school, Dr. Tom Kelly, from Horace Mann in the Boogie Down Bronx!
Listen in as Tom ardently articulates his perspective and leadership style prioritizing the relevance of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging at a time when there is intense pushback to the evolution of long-overdue racial reckoning and progress in our independent schools.
Personally, this is exactly what I needed to hear from leadership!
Courageous leadership is what we need right now. As a parent advocate and founder of RIISE, I am heartened by Dr. Kelly’s willingness to lean into what his students need to transform the world in good and just ways, even if it means rescinding offers of recognition or losing donations. Thanks for your time and energy, Dr. Kelly!
Horace Mann is a Nursery-grade 12 co-ed independent day school located in the Bronx, NY.
