Latin School CFO Michael Szczepanek Resigns

Chief Financial Officer Michael Szczepanek resigned from Latin this week after occupying the position since 2019. His last day will be today, January 31.

In an email to school faculty, Head of School Thomas Hagerman shared that Mr. Szczepanek “decided to leave Latin to pursue other opportunities.”

Aiming to ensure a smooth transition, Dr. Hagerman wrote, “Michael’s highly experienced and skillful direct reports, Marc Blettry, Chanel King, Katherine Pohlkamp, and Donna Prince, remain available to answer any questions or concerns that you may have for their respective areas.”

Mr. Szczepanek helped guide the school through a variety of challenging financial periods, most notably the COVID-19 pandemic. Latin’s endowment is 25% higher today than it was when he came to Latin, and the school’s budget has grown to more than $60 million. Admissions demand is strong, and while tuition continues to rise, Latin is able to offer more than $5 million in need-based financial aid.

“I greatly value my time at Latin as CFO,” Mr. Szczepanek told The Forum. “I have worked with some incredible people and depart with valuable experience and feeling of pride for the positive impact that I was able to provide the school and its community during my five-and-a-half years.”
