Jim Eagen

Jim Eagen believes that when schools and their leaders focus less on what to change and more importantly, embrace constant change, transformation in education is possible. Jim has enjoyed a wonderful 25 year career in independent schools, and is now in his 8th year, as the Head of School at Synapse, a K-8 lab school in Menlo Park. Synapse has grown exponentially in size and impact under his leadership and has earned a reputation for being a place where students, teachers and families thrive in large part due to Jim’s vision and energy.
