Assistant Headmaster for Admissions and College Counseling Appointed
Woodberry Forest School will welcome Scott Schamberger as assistant headmaster for admissions and college counseling on July 1, 2015. In this new senior administrative position, Scott will oversee our relationship with our students and their families beginning with their early interest in the school and continuing through their admission, and enrollment, and college matriculation.
“This is a very important position for Woodberry Forest,” said Headmaster Byron Hulsey ’86. “We mounted a very competitive search, and Scott emerged as the candidate with the experience, enthusiasm, and personality to make the most of this opportunity. I am excited to work with him on behalf of the boys already at Woodberry and those who will join us in the years to come.”
Scott comes to the Forest from Randolph School in Huntsville, Alabama, where, as director of institutional advancement, he is responsible for admissions, development, communications, and parent and alumni relations. Before joining the Randolph faculty five years ago, he worked at Emory University for ten years, primarily in the office of undergraduate admission; he concluded his service there as associate dean of admission operations. Scott earned a BS in biology from Emory University and an MEd in educational administration and policy from the University of Georgia. He is currently working toward earning a PhD in educational policy studies from Georgia State University. He and his wife, Tracy, have a daughter and are expecting their second child in September.
Scott will join the faculty as Harrison Stuart ’98, Woodberry’s assistant headmaster and director of admissions, departs to become founding head of the new Episcopal School of Nashville. Harrison has been a member of the Woodberry faculty since 2010.
