Barbara De Natale

Barbara De Natale began serving the Hamden Hall school community more than 25 years ago when the eldest of her three children entered first grade. Since that time, Barbara has run the gamut in terms of posts held and committee work undertaken, including her service on the Board of Trustees, which she took a seat on during the 2004-2005 school year.

Barbara started getting involved with the Hamden Hall community through membership in the Parents’ Association, of which she was president for three years. She has chaired Grandparents’ Day, the biennial auction, initiated the speakers’ series for the Parents’ Association, served as a room parent, and is currently the Middle and Upper School new parent liaison. Her work on the board includes her current chairmanship of the Education Committee.

Barbara formerly worked in sales and also as a research assistant in the Stratford school district in association with Yale University’s Haskins Laboratories. She has also taught English as a second language. In addition, Barbara serves on the Board of Trustees of the Hospital of St. Raphael Foundation, chairing a number of committees including special events.
