The Board of Trustees unanimously approved her appointment, with Mrs. Gewirtz set to officially begin her role on July 1, 2025.
A proud alumna of ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æHSG and ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ, Mrs. Gewirtz brings a wealth of experience, vision, and dedication to the role. Known for her dynamic approach to education, her ability to develop innovative programs, and her commitment to student growth, Mrs. Gewirtz embodies the mission and values of ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æHSG. She has impressed the school community with her unique insights into student development, faculty collaboration, and academic excellence, alongside a deep dedication to Torah and Jewish education.
Mrs. Gewirtz’s academic and professional credentials reflect her lifelong commitment to chinuch. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Judaic Studies, with a minor in Business, from Stern College for Women and a master’s degree in Jewish Education from the Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration. Additionally, she holds a Master of Social Work from the Wurzweiler School of Social Work and is a licensed social worker.

In her most recent role as Dean of Students at ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æHSG, Mrs. Gewirtz played a pivotal role in fostering a supportive and thriving environment for students. During the 2024–2025 school year, she partnered with Associate Principal Ms. Leah Moskovich to guide the school through a period of transition. Ms. Moskovich will continue her role as Associate Principal, working closely with Mrs. Gewirtz to lead the school forward.
Together, Mrs. Gewirtz and Ms. Moskovich will ensure ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æHSG remains a leading institution in Jewish education, deeply integrated with ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ, Stern College for Women, and the Sy Syms School of Business.
The school also expressed its gratitude to outgoing principal Ms. Bracha Rutner for her years of exceptional leadership, dedication, and impactful contributions to ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æHSG.
