Innovative, Progressive, STEAM School in San Francisco Hires Exceptional Technology Manager
Alta Vista School
An independent Junior Kindergarten through 8th grade progressive school based in San Francisco, Alta Vista School prepares students to thrive as creative thinkers, innovators, and catalysts for positive change in the world. Between two campuses — the lower school in the Portola District, and the middle school in the Mission District — the school's STEAM-powered curriculum and foundation of deep social-emotional learning inspire curiosity, creative problem-solving, and love of learning for all 300+ students.
AVS sought a technology systems manager who is ready to lead all areas of IT/IS, which will include gradual, long-term improvements to the school’s network and systems architecture, while ensuring daily support needs continue to be met on both campuses. The technology systems manager will begin alongside a new head of school, and report to a new CFO — both of whom will begin in the summer of 2024. The manager will also supervise a database administrator, and work closely with external partners for technology support as needed.
Alta Vista School was thrilled to welcome Shana Krallman to the position in the summer of 2024.
