Michael Fellin to be Crescent’s 10th headmaster

Michael Fellin
Michael Fellin is poised to take the helm at Toronto’s Crescent School this coming fall when the present headmaster Geoff Roberts retires after 36 years at the eminent boys school.  The 39-year-old Mr. Fellin is in only his third year at the 30-acre Bayview Ave. campus. But he was marked for advancement when he joined and the board members made it official when they appointed him the tenth headmaster of Crescent in December. Mr Fellin began his education career in 2000 at Neil McNeil High School on Victoria Park Ave. where he was a teacher and then vice principal. In a release announcing his appointment, the board lauded Fellin’s contributions to the leadership of the school over the past two years, noting particularly his academic credentials, his understanding of independent schools and of boys education and his commitment to the uniqueness of educating boys. He had, said the board, an excellent rapport with students. Crescent has an enrollment of 700 and a faculty and staff of 140, all of whom have the privilege of working in the pleasant school nestled just off Bayview opposite the Granite Club.
