Mr. Kirk Blackard

Now entering his 21st year, Director of College Guidance Kirk Blackard has perfected a system that ensures every boy gets individual, personalized attention from the moment they step on campus until the very end of the college-application process. 

Christ School's Class of 2024 was the College Guidance Office's latest triumph - the seniors earned $4.2 million in scholarships over a four-year period. They will attend colleges and universities in 17 states, plus Washington D.C. and Canada.  

Mr. Blackard has been involved in college admissions and college counseling since 1991. A graduate of St. Christopher’s School in Richmond, Va., Mr. Blackard received a B.A. from Wake Forest University in 1989 and his master's from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1995.

Mr. Blackard lives on campus and his interests include basketball, tennis, and cooking.
