Evaluation Letter, St. Gregory Board of Trustees, February 2011

Excerpt:  Our overall impression is that we have a Head of School who is bringing about all the leadership and change we anticipated as we made the original hire. In fact, Jonathan has accomplished much, much more than we ever imagined in his short time at the school. It is our hope he will continue at the school and continue to lead us into the future.

Excerpt: While Jonathan has clear opinions, he does a tremendous job of gathering input for both his thinking and his decisions.  I’ve yet to work with someone as inclusive in this process as he; it seems that anyone who will be affected by a decision is consulted, individuals as well as groups, formally and informally.

Excerpt: In the two years that I have worked for Jonathan Martin, I have come to value his integrity, his motivation and enthusiasm for educational leadership, his willingness to listen to all sides of an issue, and his innate belief in students as enthusiastic, self-motivated learners.

Susan Warren, Director of International Programs and Admissions, St. Gregory.

Excerpt:  He has a genuine interest in international students as well as a strong understanding of the educational value of  building an international program.  Jonathan has done an excellent job advocating for  strong programmatic support for our international students with our faculty and community.  Jonathan has traveled to Mexico and China to establish relationships with schools and students in both countries.
