Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School announces
Head of School search
On November 3, 2025, Head of School Jeff Miles announced his plan to conclude his tenure at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School at the end of the 2025–2026 academic year.
The Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School community is deeply grateful for Mr. Miles’ exceptional leadership over the past seven years. During his tenure, the School achieved record enrollment, completed its 2020–2025 Strategic Plan, enhanced campus facilities, and strengthened its financial foundation—all while remaining true to its mission of preparing young people for life through accessibility, global education, and community.
The Board of Trustees has retained Carney, Sandoe & Associates (CSA), a nationally recognized firm specializing in educational leadership searches, to assist in identifying Rabun Gap’s next Head of School. An internal Search Committee, co-chaired by Mr. Niles Bolton and Dr. Kate (Oliver) Maine ’85, will partner closely with CSA to guide this important process.
The Board looks forward to a national search that builds on the strong foundation established under Mr. Miles’ leadership.
Updates will be shared with the community as the search progresses.
