David E. Wood: Headmaster Striving to continue the academic excellence at Harpeth Hall is just one of Mr. David Wood ' s goals for the school. He also endeavors to develop new courses and opportunities for the benefit of the students. In addition, he seeks to increase the endowment of Harpeth Hall to aid in reducing the large tuition while increasing the salary of the faculty. Although Mr. Wood ' s main responsibilities involve the overall operation of the school and the hiring of new faculty, he also participates in various aspects of school life. For example, Mr. Wood cheers the Honeybears to victory at athletic events. He has taken part in the summer musicals, My Fair Lady and The Music Man , and he even judges the costume contest at the biology department ' s Frog Day in November. Mr. Wood participates whole-heartedly in all aspects of school life, and he takes a special interest in each girl at Harpeth Hall. He shows his interest through personalized notes to girls who make the Honor Roll or to those participating in plays and by being available throughout the day for students seeking advice or a friendly person to talk with. Following his graduation from Davidson College in North Carolina, Mr. Wood taught at Battle Ground Academy. After a long period as Director of Admissions at Vanderbilt, he became headmaster at U.M.S., a boys ' preparatory shcool in Mobile, Alabama. Mr. Wood has since made a very successful transition from the all-male school, U.M.S., to Harpeth Hall.
