Julia Gabriele, St. Luke's Associate Head of School and Chief Financial Officer was recently awarded the National Business Officers Association (NBOA) 2020 Will J. Hancock Unsung Hero Award, nominated by her colleagues at St. Luke's School.

According to NBOA: "The Will J. Hancock Unsung Hero Award is given to business officers who have made extraordinary contributions to their schools and exemplify exceptional integrity, knowledge and motivation."

In his nomination, Head of School Mark Davis cited Gabriel’s impact on the evolution of St. Luke’s: “Since assuming the role of CFO in 2008, Julia has led a massive campus building program with vision, creativity and skilled management of the building committee, architects, contractors and vendors. Though much of what Julia does is [behind the scenes], the transformative results of her efforts are visible to everyone. Her guiding hand has transformed St. Luke's physically, in the soundness of financial policies, and in its reputation as a forward-thinking school from which others can learn.”
