A Decade of Leadership and Service

Peg Sandel has been at the helm from the beginning, forging a new path in the startup years of Brandeis as an independent school and overcoming the challenges of the pandemic. From propelling our curriculum to the cutting edge to reorganizing our institution to better meet the needs of our families and students, Peg has left an indelible mark on our community. She is a true visionary, committed to fostering a generation of leaders and thinkers who fearlessly voice their thoughts and question the status quo.

As Head of School, Peg has rallied community leaders to support essential improvements to our campus space and learning infrastructure, ensuring that our students have the best environment in which to thrive.  Moreover, she embodies her mission, to instill universal Jewish values of service, kindness, and integrity in our students and shape them into compassionate, principled global citizens.

Join us at Spring Simcha 24' to celebrate Peg's dedication to families and communities across the Bay Area

This gala is not only a celebration of Peg's outstanding contributions but also an opportunity to ensure that her legacy continues to inspire and impact generations to come. Join us in honoring her vision, dedication, and the profound difference she has made in our school and the Greater Bay Area Jewish community. Together, we can support her mission and shape a brighter future for our students and society at large.
