The Rosarian Academy Board of Directors recently appointed Nori Madrigal as the interim head of school.
With more than 20 years of experience in education, Madrigal most recently was the interim head of school at the Colorado Springs School, an independent school serving pre-K through grade 12. During this time, she oversaw the management of daily operations of the school, including ensuring ethical and legal compliance, managing the annual budget of $6.2 million, overseeing curriculum and instruction, providing regular opportunities for professional development and developing professional relationships with all stakeholders.
Madrigal began her career as a K-5 teacher with a bachelor’s degree in art and elementary education from Humboldt State University. She was a teacher and division leader at the Colorado Springs School. She also worked several years at the University of Colorado Family Development Center as the summer program director. After attaining her master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from Colorado Christian University, she continued to diversify by serving in positions from enrichment programs to director of admissions and financial assistance at the Colorado Springs School.
Following the legacy of former Principal Virginia Devine, who retired at the end of the 2013-14 school year after 31 years of service to the school, Madrigal will continue to uphold Rosarian Academy’s high standards and distinctions.
“In the first few days of being here, I can already sense Rosarian’s excellence and great potential,” Madrigal said. “I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to be here for a year, to reinforce the culture of excellence that already exists and set up the incoming permanent head for continued and progressive future success.”
