Greenhill School

Addison (Dallas), Texas

Located approximately 10 miles north of downtown Dallas, Texas, Greenhill School is an independent, coeducational day school with approximately 1,300 students in prekindergarten through 12th grade.

The comprehensive community service program rounds out the educational experience and has established Greenhill as a leading contributor to a number of Dallas-area social service organizations and nonprofits.

Over the last 70 years, Greenhill has become an institution in which honesty, courage, compassion, and respect for the individual prevail. In adopting the School’s core principles of excellence, integrity, compassion, and courage, the Greenhill community affirms the development of character as an essential and ever-present element of its mission. During the last two decades in particular, the School has substantially strengthened its finances and endowment, added and upgraded educational programs, built several new facilities, and enhanced a campus-wide technology initiative. While Greenhill takes pride in these achievements, the School places even greater value on its faculty, students, and families, and the energy and enthusiasm that they bring to so many aspects of campus life. Greenhill views its financial strength and physical growth as vehicles that help sustain the momentum created by the enthusiasm of its stakeholders and the institution’s high quality of teaching and learning.

The Opportunity

The Chief Development Officer (CDO) will lead the philanthropic efforts at Greenhill School. With 50 percent students of color, a list of notable and accomplished alumni, a discerning and committed parent body, and highly qualified and dedicated faculty and staff, Greenhill School is a dynamic, diverse, and demanding community that has embarked on the most ambitious capital and endowment campaign in the School’s history. The best-matched candidate will possess unquestionable integrity and demonstrate maturity in the industry through proven campaign experience, strong leadership/management practice, and effective volunteer engagement at the highest levels.

With a talented and diverse leadership team, and a Board eager to support the development staff, the new CDO will be well-positioned for success. Now is the time to join this team and help the School thrive for generations to come.
