Joan smith, head of school
Welcome to Roland Park Country School! I am honored to serve as the Head of School and work alongside our outstanding teachers and administration.
My history at this school is long and beloved. After serving as the Upper School Head of School in the late 90's and early 2000's, what strikes me now is what attracted me initially to RPCS – tradition and innovation co-existing comfortably and effectively. Along with the 100 plus years of an emphasis on academic excellence and women as leaders, the core values: build each other up, take your seat at the table, live healthy and be well, seek and embrace diversity, and lead for the greater good, capture the essence of RPCS. I believe that it is the responsibility of each and every adult at this wonderful school to work as a team to ensure the success of your daughter(s).
As I introduce myself to you, I thank you for entrusting us with your daughters. Let’s all work together on their behalf.
Warmly,
Joan F. Smith, HA, GP'24
