Andrew D. Martire will step down as Head of School at The Tatnall School at the end of the 2025-26 academic year, the school announced Wednesday.
Martire, who has led the Wilmington-based independent school since 2020, has accepted a new position in his home state of Maryland.
“Andy has led with integrity, vision, and a deep commitment to our mission,” said Abby Mrozinski, president of the Tatnall School Board of Trustees. “We are grateful for all he has done to move the school forward and know that we will continue to benefit from his legacy now and into the future.”
The school’s board of trustees has begun the process of identifying a successor.
Martire’s tenure at Tatnall was marked by significant developments, including guiding the school through the COVID-19 pandemic, boosting academic and athletic programs, and overseeing several major campus upgrades.

Among the projects completed under his leadership are the Ederic Learning Commons, the Eco-Courtyard, renovated athletic locker rooms, and a new Early Childhood building.
He also collaborated closely with the board to implement “Tatnall at Its Best,” a strategic plan aimed at strengthening the school as it approaches its 100th anniversary in 2030.
Martire plans to remain in his role through the coming academic year.
His departure comes at a time of strong momentum for Tatnall, according to school officials.
The school recently posted record enrollment numbers for 2024-25, and Tatnall’s athletic program was ranked as the top independent school program in Delaware. More than a third of the Class of 2025 have committed to play NCAA sports.
“These accomplishments are exciting and are a testament to Andy’s leadership as well as the outstanding Tatnall leadership, faculty, and staff,” Mrozinski said. “We envision a future rooted in academic excellence, a vibrant community, and an emphasis on innovation. Our efforts will continue uninterrupted, building on our momentum to encourage Tatnall’s growth and success through our 2030 centennial and beyond.”
