GLOBAL School Searches is pleased to announce the appointment of Joscelyn Hill as Middle School Principal at Haven of Peace Academy (HOPAC) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Mrs. Hill brings seventeen years in Tanzania, including seven at HOPAC as a Middle and Senior School English teacher, where she has developed the school's IGCSE Literature curriculum and built a reputation as a trusted, informal leader among students, staff, and parents alike.  Before joining HOPAC, Mrs. Hill spent fifteen years with Pioneer Bible Translators as a Literacy Consultant, developing mother-tongue literacy curricula and training literacy workers and teachers across language projects, alongside earlier classroom experience in Texas public schools. At HOPAC, her impact has extended well beyond the classroom: she has coached the World Scholar's Cup program, sponsored TEDx Youth, led mentor groups, served on the Child Safety Team, and led professional development for faculty, work that earned her a peer-nominated Teacher of the Year honor. She holds a BA in Bible, Missions, and Ministry from Abilene Christian University and postgraduate teacher certification from the University of Texas at Arlington. Mrs. Hill's approach to teaching is grounded in the conviction that every student carries the image of God within them, and that the classroom exists to equip them, in the fullest sense, to become their best selves. GLOBAL congratulates Mrs. Hill on this appointment and looks forward to the impact of her leadership at HOPAC.

GLOBAL School Searches and the GLOBAL School Consulting Group are pleased to join the Board of Escuela Internacional Sampedrana in announcing the appointment of Dr. Colin Brown as the school's new Superintendent. Dr. Brown, selected from among several highly qualified international school leaders, began his service at EIS for the 2025-26 school year. He brings twenty-eight years in education, including ten as a head of school, and two decades of international experience across Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Dr. Brown came to EIS from the American School in Taichung, Taiwan, where he served as Head of School from 2020 to 2024 and led a strategic plan that lifted enrolment to its highest level in the school's history while strengthening academic results and faculty retention. He previously served as Director of the International School of Sosua in the Dominican Republic, and earlier as a principal and director at international schools in Vietnam, Hungary, Guatemala, and China. He is a certified WASC chair and Cognia lead evaluator who has served on accreditation teams across four continents, and he founded the East Asia Pacific International Schools Association and the Taiwan Educator Recruiting Fair. A published author on school leadership and a mentor with AISH and EARCOS, Dr. Brown holds a doctorate in Educational Leadership, a Master of Arts in Education from the University of Phoenix, and a Bachelor of Arts from Simon Fraser University, along with IBDP certification for heads of school. Founded in 1953, Escuela Internacional Sampedrana serves more than 1,700 students from preschool through high school on a 39-acre campus at the base of the Merendon Mountains in San Pedro Sula. The bilingual, Cognia-accredited school draws faculty from around the world and is widely regarded as one of the leading academic institutions in Honduras and Central America. Congratulations to Dr. Colin Brown, the EIS Board, and the school community as they begin this new chapter together.
