Phillips Exeter Academy has chosen Jennifer Karlen Elliott to lead the school’s next chapter and serve as the Academy’s 17th principal. Elliott is currently the head of student and academic life at Choate Rosemary Hall, where she is responsible for nearly all aspects of the student experience across academics, residential life, wellness and community culture.
The announcement concludes a rigorous search that began in February when Rawson made known this school year would be his last as principal. Elliott was chosen after a global search that connected the committee with over 400 educational leaders. She formally begins her new role on July 1, 2026.
The dynamism of this present moment will require us to sharpen what is core and lead with courage, integrity, and creativity. Optimistic and energetic, I see the challenges of this moment as opportunities for exciting progress.
