NWS Welcomes new Director of Enrollment Management

We are excited to have Erwin Wong join The Northwest School as Director of Enrollment Management. He joined our faculty on July 1, 2026, following a comprehensive search process.

Erwin holds a Master of Public Administration (Price School of Public Policy, University of Southern California) and a BA in Political Science and Sociology (University of California, Irvine). He brings extensive experience in enrollment management, admissions, financial aid, data strategy, and institutional storytelling, along with a deep commitment to building authentic relationships with students, families, and school communities.

Erwin has spent more than 20 years serving in leadership roles at independent schools across Honolulu, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, helping schools articulate their mission and foster meaningful community engagement through enrollment management.

In addition to his professional experience, he has also served as a school trustee at Park Day in Oakland and facilitated student advisory groups and AAPI affinity spaces, and coached middle school basketball.

Erwin is deeply drawn to Northwest’s mission and educational philosophy, and especially our interdisciplinary program, commitment to justice and sustainability, vibrant arts culture, and the unique opportunities created by our day and boarding program. 

Erwin values interdisciplinary learning and is inspired by school communities that cultivate justice, sustainability, creativity, and belonging. He is grateful to be part of The Northwest School and looks forward to welcoming families with genuine curiosity, care and the spirit of aloha. 

Please join us in welcoming Erwin to The Northwest School community!
