We would like to take this opportunity to thank Coach Zimmerman for her leadership during the interim and for playing an integral part in the ongoing renovations of the Athletics Complex. Head of School Chris Hinchey said, "Through her various roles and relationships with students, parents, faculty, and staff, her impressive athletic background, and leadership experience, Brionna Zimmerman is uniquely positioned to lead Heathwood’s athletics program into the future."
