WELCOME
DR. MONTGOMERY

KIRSTY MONTGOMERY, PhD
HEAD OF SCHOOL

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR LAKEVIEW ACADEMY ANNOUNCED
ITS NEW HEAD OF SCHOOL – A SEASONED EDUCATOR AND
ADMINISTR ATOR FROM THE OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE
AT NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY IN EVANSTON, IL .

Kirsty Montgomery, PhD, was unanimously selected by a search committee and Lakeview’s
board from a national field of over 200 candidates to become the private school’s first female
Head of School.
“We are so fortunate to bring someone of Dr. Montgomery’s well-rounded academic credentials and
leadership to Lakeview,” Board Chairman Clay Eubanks said. “I look forward to seeing her embark on
a bold new legacy for our students, parents, staff – and the entire Gainesville-Hall County community.

A magna cum laude graduate of Northwestern University, Dr. Montgomery led the school’s Osher
Institute for the past five years. At Osher, she led a team of five administrators, 300 faculty-
coordinators, and over 1,500 students. Her accomplishments there included a strategic plan that
resulted in a 55 percent increase in enrollment.

Earlier in her career, Dr. Montgomery taught at a variety of educational levels from third grade to
12th grade. She served four years on the faculty of the Illinois Math and Science Academy and five
years at Omniscope Academy, also in Illinois.

In addition to her bachelor’s degree in political science from Northwestern, Dr. Montgomery holds
two additional master’s degrees from the University of Chicago in history and social sciences. She
earned her PhD in history at the University of Chicago.

“I am deeply honored to have been selected as Lakeview Academy's next Head of School,”
Montgomery said in a recent statement. “I am very impressed by Lakeview's dynamic learning
environment, its academic rigor, and its nurturing community. Everyone I encounter – from the
thoughtful and imaginative Lakeview students, to the dedicated faculty and staff, to the supportive
parents and others invested in Lakeview's future – all express their heartfelt commitment to
and love for the school. In short, Lakeview embodies the type of school community that I gravitate
towards, and its vaues are those to which I am profoundly committed. Chris and I are so excited to
become part of the Lakeview family."

Dr. Montgomery arrived on the Lakeview campus in June 2020 in time for the 2020-21 school year.
She is being assisted in the leadership transition by John Simpson, Lakeview’s interim Head of School
for the past nine months. Dr. Montgomery and her husband, Chris, have six children – three college
age, two high school seniors and a 13-year-old daughter.

MOVING LAKEVIEW FORWARD
TO THE NEXT 50 YEARS

When Lakeview opened its doors in August 1970, it opened with a few students, one building,
limited extra-curricular activities and a dream of becoming a premier private school
providing the best college-preparatory education available in north Georgia. Now 50 years
later with more than 500 students, 120 faculty and staff, award-winning athletics and fine
arts, and rigorous academic programs, we are poised for success as we move forward into the next 50 years.
