Ms. Alexandra Lockett Cate’s New Head of School

Last December, I wrote to the Cate community announcing Cate’s 9th Head of School and together we joyfully congratulated Ms. Alexandra Lockett on her new role and this momentous chapter in our school’s history. After a busy spring of hard work and celebration, it is finally time to welcome Alexandra, along with her husband, Paul Hauser, and their two children, Henry and Walker, to the Mesa on July 1, 2023. A thoughtful, structured transition process has been our highest priority and over the past few months, the Transition Committee and Cate’s key administrators have been meeting with Alexandra regularly to prepare the entire Cate community for the year ahead. As we build upon the success of the past 113 years and prepare Cate for the future, our focus has been to establish robust engagement plans for all community members, address logistics, and provide our new Head of School with the support and information she needs to enter this multidimensional role. You will soon be hearing from Ms. Lockett regularly, but in the meantime please join me in extending Alexandra and her family the warmest Cate welcome.
