Greenhill Announces Maryanna Phipps as Director of Admission and Enrollment Management

Greenhill School named Maryanna Phipps as its new Director of Admission and Enrollment Management effective August 1, 2022.

Maryanna currently serves as the Enrollment Management Director at Charles Wright Academy in Tacoma, Washington. Prior to that, she held the role of Director of Admission and Enrollment Management at The Hockaday School. She also sits on the Board of Directors for the Association of Independent School Admission Professionals, a national organization. With more than 25 years of experience, Maryanna brings to Greenhill a deep background in independent school admission and enrollment management, extensive leadership experience, and strong strategic vision.

In her work at multiple independent schools, Maryanna has consistently responded to the unique strengths and opportunities presented at each educational institution. At Charles Wright, she increased timely participation in re-enrollment by developing new education and communication programs, and she cultivated a warm, inviting admission culture that highlighted the school’s strong academic experience. At Hockaday, she navigated high-volume admission cycles and ensured that all applicant families felt valued by enhancing the school’s admission experience. 

Throughout her career, Maryanna has demonstrated the ability to streamline internal operations by leading the implementation of new systems and processes and to refine a school’s presence in the greater community. In addition, she is intimately familiar with the important role financial aid programs play within independent school communities, having managed the financial aid process at multiple schools.

From the beginning of the search process, Maryanna emerged as the candidate of choice, both for her extensive expertise in this field and her clear connection to Greenhill's mission, vision, and core values, as well as the School's commitment to equity and inclusion. Her expertise, her commitment to families, and her amiable nature were consistently cited by her current colleagues as characteristics that contribute to her success. 

Maryanna earned a B.A. in English with a concentration in art history from Washington and Lee University in Virginia. She will be moving to Dallas this summer prior to her start.
