Mr. Barry Ray has announced he will step down from his roles as Upper School principal and assistant headmaster effective May 2024. He will continue to serve the school by assisting in the alumni office.
“Barry Ray has been integral to MUS for 46 years. The effects of his exceptional leadership are woven into our history,” Headmaster Pete Sanders said. “Although he will move on from his current roles, he will remain involved with school life. We will celebrate his immeasurable contributions to date in May.”
