Tune in to hear Head of School, Dr. Mark Carleton, chat with Brandon Walker, Head of Middle School, about his journey from an independent school student to a teacher, administrator, and parent. Brandon’s life and career trajectory was altered by independent school educators who saw his promise and had the capacity and desire to invest in his growth. Their belief in him, coupled with access to rigorous academics and meaningful mentorship, not only changed his life but inspired his commitment to doing the same for others. This episode is now live and available for download on our People of PS Podcast.
Brandon holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Statistics from Purdue University and a Master of Education in Independent School Leadership from Vanderbilt University. His leadership is rooted in the conviction that schools are more than academic institutions; they are places where students are known, challenged, and empowered. He considers it both a privilege and a calling to help shape an environment where adults invest in students’ potential and every student flourishes. Outside of school, Brandon enjoys reading, journaling, camping/hiking, and spending time with his family.
