IndySchool Consultancy to Lead Search for Donoho School’s Next Middle & Upper School Head

September 25, 2025

IndySchool Consultancy (ISC) is honored to partner with The Donoho School, an independent college-preparatory school in Anniston, Alabama, in the search for its next Middle & Upper School Head. This pivotal role will oversee grades 6–12, shaping the academic and student life experience for Donoho’s older students.

Located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Donoho offers the best of both worlds — a welcoming, close-knit school community and convenient access to vibrant metropolitan areas. Anniston sits just over an hour from both Atlanta, Georgia, and Birmingham, Alabama, making the school’s setting especially attractive to candidates seeking a high-quality professional opportunity alongside a strong quality of life.

The search will be led by ISC Consultant Chris Brueningsen, who brings extensive experience as an independent school leader and search consultant. Chris will work closely with Donoho’s leadership and community to develop a candidate profile, conduct national outreach, and identify a slate of dynamic and mission-aligned leaders.

At ISC, we are committed to providing schools with big-firm quality and boutique-level care. Our process emphasizes transparency, efficiency, and candidate depth, ensuring that Donoho will have access to a wide and diverse pool of qualified applicants.

We look forward to walking alongside The Donoho School during this important transition and to introducing outstanding candidates to this exciting leadership opportunity.
