Head of School
Willy MacMullen ’78 to Retire in June 2023 HEAD OF SCHOOL Willy MacMullen ’78 has announced that he and his wife, Pam, will retire at the end of the 2022–23 academic year. Willy, only Taft’s fifth head of school, has served in that capacity since 2001. Pam is an English teacher at Taft. “I am sure that everyone in the school community who has had the privilege of interacting with this couple will have a deeply emotional response to this announcement,” Board Chair Grant Porter ’69 wrote in an email to the Taft community. “Together they have served a school they love, [becoming] one of the most admired head of school couples in the country.” The MacMullens have served Taft for a combined and remarkable 65 years.
