New Woodlands head of school:

Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart board of trustees voted unanimously to appoint Margaret (Meg) Steele to become the next head of school, succeeding Gerald Grossman July 1, 2015, officials said in a news release. A Chicago resident, Steele has been with Sacred Heart Schools in Chicago since 1997. She began her career as a teacher, but soon assumed various positions of leadership, including curriculum coordinator and director of kindergarten and first grade, before becoming head of primary school in 2004. While her work has been primarily at the elementary and middle-school levels, Steele is well versed in learning, teaching and curriculum in the broader context, officials said. She has worked with Sacred Heart Commission on Goals, and as a member of several Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS) visiting committees.
