About the Laurel Leaf

From RPCS's earliest days, the laurel leaf (also called the bay leaf, native to the Mediterranean) has stood alone at the center of the School seal. The laurel leaf is a symbol of the high goals RPCS holds for itself and its students. Classical society attributed magical properties to the laurel leaf and honored the highest level of achievement with a crown of laurel. This motif, which alumnae proudly display when they wear their Roland Park Country School ring, honors the School's long tradition of excellence.
