Spring Street International School
Announces new “Director of School”
Spring Street International School welcomes Louis O’Prussack as its new Director of School. Louis will officially join the school on July 1, 2008. A teacher and administrator for over 18 years, Louis 
O’Prussack has lived throughout the U.S. and, for a time, abroad in France. For the last 16 years, he has taught mathematics and physics and been the dean of faculty and Assistant Head of School at Besant Hill School, a small, college preparatory boarding-day school in Ojai, California. He and his wife Jennifer are very excited to be moving back to the Northwest, and to be bringing their two young children, Caeden and Aiyana to a place that they love. The whole family is looking forward with great anticipation to living in a place where the word community has real depth and meaning behind it, and where integrity, understanding, and compassion are a vital part of the fabric of the community.
A graduate of Oberlin College with a B.A. in Classics, Louis briefly attended medical school, studied mathematics at the University of Washington for 15 months, and recently received his M.A. in Educational Leadership at Columbia University. His most enriching moments continue to take place in the classroom with students, and he looks forward to continuing to teach in addition to his other responsibilities as Director of Spring Street International School.
He feels honored and humbled to be chosen by the Board of Trustees, parents, students, and faculty of Spring Street to help continue to sustain and to build upon the incredible foundation that the founders of the school, Peg and Ted, have laid down. Louis is happy to be returning to the Northwest and, in some ways, knows that he is finally bringing his family home.
