Charleston poised to be next high-growth area for Montessori education says new Head of School

New MMS Head of School was introduced to business and community leaders at a reception in her honor on Oct. 23.  Representatives from U.S. Senators Jay Rockefeller and Joe Manchin III were among the dignitaries on hand, sharing words of greetings and a warm welcome to Dana.  “Mountaineer Montessori has a well-earned reputation for academic excellence and a tight-knit community of supporters.  I know Dana has already been embraced by this community and is poised to be a fantastic leader for MMS,” said Rockefeller.  “Dana Gilliland is a great addition to Mountaineer Montessori,” noted Manchin.

During the event, Dana shared her remarkable Montessori journey with guests and says that Charleston is “poised to be the next high-growth area for Montessori education” as MMS pursues expansion and middle school plans.  You can read more here in this great article in the State Journal:  Mountaineer Montessori welcomes new head of school
