Matt Donnowitz was recently named new Rhetoric School Headmaster for the Geneva School of Boerne, to provide leadership to faculty and students in Geneva’s high school. He replaces Dirk Russell who served Geneva for almost 20 years, most recently as the Rhetoric School Headmaster.
Donnowitz comes to Geneva from a similar-sized K-12 classical and Christian school, Hill Country Christian School of Austin, where he served as Head of School. Donnowitz served as Upper School Principal there for several years after being a Bible and history teacher in the upper grades.
Donnowitz has a bachelor’s degree in psychology, with minors in organizational leadership and supervision, and history, from Purdue University. He earned his master’s degree in religion-Biblical studies at Trinity School for Ministry. He has completed coursework toward a doctorate in education in educational leadership at Concordia University in Austin.
“We are excited that Matt has joined our Geneva leadership team,” Interim Head of School Debbie Ledoux said. “He is humble, kind, intelligent and very approachable. He believes in the importance of building a team and investing in his people.
“We believe that Matt has the ideal skill set to take our Rhetoric School to a new height as he builds camaraderie with faculty, staff, parents and students, and establishes programs and processes that will ensure success,” Ledoux added.
When asked about coming to Geneva, Donnowitz said, “I’m so grateful to join the faculty and staff of Geneva School of Boerne, a school I have admired and respected for years through my involvement in the Society for Classical Learning organization.
“My family and I have joy in our hearts as we consider the Lord’s providence that has led us here. We can’t wait to make new friends over some good meals and conversations, pour our lives into the lives of students, and become part of the incredible Geneva community,” he added.
