Enrollment Data, Elevated
I'm Eugene Campbell. In my 27 years in independent schools, I’ve done nearly every job there is, from teaching, coaching, and being a dorm parent, to leading curricular development, hiring, admissions, enrollment, financial aid, institutional research and academic divisions at boarding and day schools.
I started as an English teacher, and it still shapes how I work. I read enrollment data the way I once read a text: closely, asking what it says and what it leaves out.
Three things guide my work:
Evidence first. Recommendations come from your numbers, not from a template.
Plain language. Your board, your faculty, and your admissions team should all understand what I tell you.
Your team does the work. I build things you can keep running after I leave.
