"In the 15 years that he has headed Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences, Roger Weaver has shepherded the Santa Monica campus from its origins as a funky, laid-back hippie school to its current status as one of the most respected and challenging prep schools in the nation."

From The Los Angeles Times article,

"Crossroads Headmaster

Announces His Departure,"

by Carla Rivera, February 19, 2008.

"Having Roger Weaver on speed-dial is like holding a 21st century genie-in-a-bottle. His counsel is invariably both savvy and wise; his insights are born of broad experience, his manner and delivery witty, earnest and gracious. I couldn't recommend him more highly."
