Virginia Episcopal School will have a new headmaster next year.
G. Thomas Battle Jr., a former VES teacher and 1983 graduate of the school, will start July 1 as the school’s 12th headmaster. The current headmaster, Phil Hadley, will retire at that time.
Battle was recommended by a nine-member search committee, and VES board chairman James Barber and the board endorsed the recommendation, the school said in a news release.
Battle, a Charleston, W.Va., native, earned a bachelor’s in economics from the University of Virginia in 1987 and a MBA from William and Mary’s Mason School of Business in 1995. He is an executive with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney in Winston-Salem.
While on the faculty at VES from 1987 to 1993, Battle taught history, coached football and lacrosse and served as an adviser and dorm master.
Lynchburg-based VES is a coeducational college preparatory and boarding school.
