Президент школы Уайоминг Семинари сложил полномочия, его временно заменит Рэндалд Гранджер

KINGSTON — The president of Wyoming Seminary has resigned and will be replaced by a longtime administrator for this academic year. Martin J. Mooney, president for the last three years, resigned on Sunday, a school spokesperson announced Monday in a statement. No reason was given for his departure. The statement said the school was “grateful” for his service and wishes him well. Mooney collected $323,758 in reportable compensation and $53,336 in other compensation for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2025, according to the most recent publicly available financial information about the school. The change in leadership comes just a month after the school announced plans to eliminate 22 employee positions following at least two consecutive years of deficit spending. Following Mooney’s resignation, Wyoming Seminary’s Board of Trustees quickly appointed longtime educator and administrator Randolph I. Granger as interim head of school for the 2026–27 academic year. Granger has served Wyoming Seminary for more than three decades, having been hired in 1994. “Randy’s service to Sem spans nearly every part of school life,” Tara Mugford Wilson, chair of the Wyoming Seminary Board of Trustees, said. “He knows our mission, understands the work of our faculty and staff, and is deeply committed to our students. His experience, sound judgment, and connection to this community make him uniquely prepared to provide steady, student-centered leadership as we begin the new academic year.” During his tenure at Wyoming Seminary, Granger has served as a teacher of American history, chair of the history department, associate dean of students, director of financial aid, associate director and director of admissions, Advanced Placement coordinator, dean of faculty and academic dean. He also has contributed to the school’s residential and athletic programs as a dormitory parent and coach. His wife, Natalie, taught at Wyoming Seminary’s Lower School for many years, and their three daughters are Wyoming Seminary graduates. Granger received Wyoming Seminary’s Frances and Louis Maslow Upper School Teaching Award in 2012 in recognition of his excellence in teaching, support of the school’s academic program, and positive influence on students. “Sem has been central to my professional and personal life for more than three decades, and it is an honor to serve this community as interim head of school,” Granger said. “My immediate priorities are to listen, support our faculty and staff, welcome our students and families, and work alongside the leadership team to ensure a strong beginning to the school year. I have great confidence in this community and in what we can accomplish together.” Mooney was unanimously selected by the Wyoming Seminary Board of Trustees as the 15th president in the school history’s in December 2022 and began his tenure on July 1, 2023.
