Jonathan Nazigian will be the new headmaster of Wilmington Christian.
Wilmington Christian School is getting a new headmaster, starting July 1.
Jonathan Nazigian was selected by the Hockessin school’s board of directors, following an international search.
“God has led us to an individual with strong Godly character, long-term Christian school experience and servant-leadership qualities,” said Lesley Aulick, chair of the headmaster search committee.
Nazigian’s relationship with Wilmington Christian began in fall 2021, when he was hired as a Bible department chair and upper school Bible teacher.
With more than 25 years of experience in Christian schooling, Nazigian has served as a principal, assistant principal, guidance counselor, teacher, department chair, leadership institute director and varsity basketball coach.
Nazigian and his wife, Debbie, have been married for 24 years and have three sons.
“Mr. Nazigian’s leadership is marked by courage, integrity, and skill,” said Michael McCudden, president of the board of directors. “The WCS board of directors is confident that he is the leader we need for the next season of organizational stability and growth in excellence at WCS.”
He’ll be the sixth headmaster in the school’s 77-year history.
