Head of School’s Welcome

Mark J. Anderson P’27, an accomplished educational leader with more than two decades of independent school headship, joined Wheeler as our ninth head of school in July 2025 – and we’re excited that he’s here! Mr. Anderson and his family, including his wife, Nicol, and son, Oliver ’27, are beginning their Wheeler tenures following an extensive national search.

“As I’ve quickly learned over the last several months, Wheeler is indeed a special school with a rich and storied history, an inspiring mission, and a healthy culture that meets the needs of students of all ages,” Mr. Anderson shared with our community on his first day. “The ambitious vision that guided Mary C. Wheeler, in founding our school over a century ago, remains very alive today.”

In addition to the messages and materials you’ll find here, Mr. Anderson looks forward to helping you get to know what makes Wheeler so special – whatever your grade and wherever your interests and aspirations may take you at school. You can contact him at
