ANNE HEALY CONTINUES TO INSPIRE AND CARE

In 1950, Anne Healy accepted the Board’s call to succeed Miss Castle as the third Headmistress of Roland Park Country School, and she led RPCS with quiet authority and warmth for 25 years. Among many notable accomplishments during her long tenure were the School’s first fundraising efforts.

It is not surprising, therefore, that when Roland Park Country School formed The Red
& White Legacy in 1996 to honor planned giving donors, Anne Healy was one of its founding members. She has provided for the School in her will for one simple reason: she believes that no school prepares young women better than RPCS to make a significant difference in our challenging and changing world.

Moreover, Anne Healy explains, “The School needs planned gifts to support increasing endowment and capital needs.” When bequests and trusts are realized on a regular basis, Roland Park Country School will be able to rely on the proceeds to provide student financial assistance and faculty support, to help enhance its fine facilities, and to fund capital purchases and projects that might otherwise burden the operating budget.

Miss Healy, who attended her 54th Commencement in June 2005, is still a much loved presence at RPCS. Indeed, she hopes the example of her thoughtful bequest will inspire others to consider a planned gift in order to ensure that Roland Park Country School remains a leader in the education of young women for generations to come.

As she did in 1970, Anne Healy appeals to the RPCS community: “Let your gift be given as a token of your belief in all that we stand for…let it reflect your faith in the Roland Park Country School.”
