Leadership History

Founded in 1900 by Lillias Rumsey Sanford (1850–1940) as an all-boys school in Seneca Falls, New York, Rumsey Hall School moved to Cornwall, Connecticut in 1906. In 1941, the school passed into the hands of John F. Schereschewsky. Rumsey Hall moved to its current location in 1949, at which point it became coeducational. Schereschewsky acted as Director until his death in 1969. John F. Schereschewsky, Jr. served as Headmaster from 1965-1969 and as Director from 1969-1977. Louis Magnoli, a faculty member since 1957, became Headmaster in 1977 and served until 1985. Thomas Farmen (faculty since 1947) began as Headmaster in 1985. On July 01, 2015, he announced that the 2015-2016 academic year would be his final as Headmaster.
