Green Vale’s seventh Head of School, Frederick Driscoll, passed away in January. When his predecessor, Peter Clifton, left to run the Harvard College Fund, Driscoll was recruited from Denver Country Day School to move to Green Vale. His arrival coincided with a sharp decline in enrollment and resulting financial strain after the tumultuous 1960s era. In response to these conditions, Driscoll’s most important contribution was presiding over the School’s first Five-Year Strategic Plan along with Board Chair Elbridge T. Gerry. Through community surveys and specialized task forces on curriculum, finances, enrollment and fundraising, an extensive set of recommendations with a timeline for completion was produced and guided the School’s recovery. He also worked to improve faculty collaboration and the quality of meetings, and focused on student transitions between grades and divisions. In 1978, Driscoll left to work in admissions for his beloved alma mater, Williams College. He remained in education, working as a dean at Southern Vermont College and administrator at Hoosac School. He spent his retirement in Williamstown, avidly following the college sports teams and volunteering for a number of local organizations. He is survived by his wife, Jeanne, of 49 years, four daughters, 11 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
