Beauvoir, the National Cathedral Elementary School, has called the Rev. Lisa Barrowclough, currently chaplain at Episcopal Day School in Augusta, Ga., as its new chaplain. She will join Beauvoir on July 1.
Cindi Gibbs-Wilborn, head of school at Beauvoir, announced Barrowclough’s hiring and included a brief Q&A interview with her:
1. What did you notice in your first visit with Beauvoir students, families, faculty, and staff?
I’d like to thank everyone for a delightful day visiting Beauvoir in mid-February! My thoughts about my time focus on three words: Intentional, Insightful, Inspirational. First, I was very impressed with the intentional nature of leadership from the faculty, families, and other adults I met. Everyone demonstrated philosophical and values-based commitments in the things they said and did.
