Sarah Herman
Head of School
Sarah Herman began serving as the OSS Head of School in 2013. Her experiences growing up at Interlocken International summer camp inform her belief that a powerful education must inspire curiosity, a desire to explore, and an appreciation for self-reflection. Sarah joined Teach For America, worked in the New York City public school system for four years, and completed her M.Ed. in Elementary Education at Bank Street College. She then returned to her summer camp roots and served as Director of Windsor Mountain International Camp for eight years. She continued her studies at Harvard University, earning a M.Ed. in School Leadership. In addition, she earned a certificate from Lynch Leadership Academy at Boston College’s School of Education.
With more than 20 years of experience in private and public settings, her commitment to education and social justice has never wavered. Sarah eagerly continues her work at OSS, a school with a clear mission, a commitment to diversity, and a student-centered approach to education. On the rare occasion that she is not at OSS, she would most likely be home crafting at her jewelry-making table or out and about practicing Spanish, indulging her passion for achieving an advanced-beginner status as a surfer, salsa dancer or cook, or communing with her cat Cleo, aka “City Kitty.”
