Gene Campbell Named Upper School Head at Browning

The Browning School in Manhattan has announced that Gene Campbell will be its next Head of Upper School, starting in July. Founded in 1888, the school instructs 375 boys in pre-kindergarten through grade 12.

Said Headmaster Vance Wilson, “I am confident Gene Campbell will thrive in this new position. How lucky the Browning School is to work with such a bright, creative, thoughtful, and well-read educator.”

Mr. Campbell holds a B.A. from Georgetown University and an M.A. from the Bread Loaf School of English at Middlebury College.

He has deep knowledge of independent schools, stemming from his days as a student at the Lawrenceville School, in New Jersey, as well as his teaching career, which began at the Kent School in Connecticut. At Kent, Mr. Campbell taught English, served as class dean, resided in the dorm, and coached softball, basketball, and football. In 2005, he came to St. Albans as an Upper School English teacher and a football and basketball coach. He continues today to teach in the English Department while serving as the assistant director of admissions for Upper School and the Form VI dean of students.

Headmaster Wilson awarded Mr. Campbell the Alfred Randall True Travel Fellowship and the John C. Davis Teaching Award. In 2010, the senior class honored Mr. Campbell with the John F. McCune Prize, given to a teacher who is a role model for boys, showing by constant example what it means to be a scholar and a gentleman.

We wish Mr. Campbell and his wife—fellow St. Albans English teacher Colleen Campbell—all the best in New York City.
