St. Luke’s Episcopal School marks a meaningful transition as it celebrates the retirement of Head of School Mrs. Suzy Banks and announces the appointment of Charles “Chip” Menton as the next Head of School, effective July 1, 2026.

Mrs. Banks has been a devoted member of the St. Luke’s family since the 1980s, serving the school as a teacher, Dean of Academics, and, since 2022, as Head of School. Throughout her career, she led with wisdom, warmth, and a steadfast commitment to ensuring students were known, supported, and challenged. Her leadership strengthened the academic and spiritual foundation of the school and leaves a legacy that will be felt for generations.

Looking to the future, the Board of Trustees has selected Charles “Chip” Menton to lead St. Luke’s into its next chapter. In a letter from the Board of Trustees, chair Tara Lockett said:

“Mr. Menton currently serves as Upper School Director at St. Luke’s Episcopal School, a role he assumed in 2025. During his time in this position, he has earned the respect of students, faculty, and families through his visible presence on campus, collaborative leadership style, and unwavering focus on student growth. His ability to balance academic rigor with relationship-building has made him a trusted and effective leader within the St. Luke’s community.”

“Throughout the search process, Mr. Menton distinguished himself as a leader with a clear educational vision, deep integrity, and a strong alignment with the mission and values of St. Luke’s Episcopal School. He brings extensive experience in educational leadership, a thoughtful approach to decision-making, and a commitment to fostering a supportive and forward-thinking school culture.”

“From the beginning of this process, our goal was to identify a leader who reflects the values of our community and has the experience to move St. Luke’s forward,” said Tara W. Lockett, chair of the Board of Trustees. “It became clear through our conversations and interviews that Mr. Menton brings not only exceptional professional experience but also a presence that aligns beautifully with the spirit of our school.”

“As Head of School, Mr. Menton will focus on advancing St. Luke’s STEM+M program, supporting student growth, fostering strong partnerships within the school and broader community, and guiding responsible institutional growth. His leadership will emphasize collaboration, innovation, and a continued commitment to excellence—ensuring St. Luke’s remains a place where students are prepared to lead with confidence, character, and compassion.”

As St. Luke’s honors the remarkable legacy of Mrs. Banks, the school moves forward with purpose and optimism under the leadership of Mr. Menton, confident in a future defined by innovation, integrity, and opportunity.
