Gabrielle McHale joined Milken Community High School in 2004 to serve as the Dean of Students for the Class of 2008. During her four years at Milken, she also served as an Advisor and an Advanced Placement Art History teacher. In her various roles, Gabrielle has experienced first-hand the incredible learning, spiritual and extra-curricular opportunities afforded to Milken students. 

Prior to joining Milken, Gabrielle earned her Masters of Arts Degree in Educational Administration from the Klingenstein Center’s Private School Leadership Program at Columbia University, New York. Before that, she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Gabrielle became an administrator and educator primarily because of her positive experience attending the Francis W. Parker School, a highly regarded K-12 independent school in Chicago. 

Gabrielle is excited that as Director of Admission she will facilitate the introduction of new families to Milken Community High School.
