Fabulous at 50 Celebrating 50 Years of Admission for all Qualified Students Another Golden milestone this academic year is the Schools’ acceptance and admission of qualified students without discrimination. Fifty years ago, with Headmistress Anne Healy’s full support the RPCS Board of Trustees declared, “For the Academic Year 1963-64 and thereafter the Roland Park Country School will consider without discrimination application for admissions by all qualified applicants.” What led to this momentous decision was a courageous letter written by Anne Healy: “Would a refusal to consider a Negro applicant be consonant with our educational philosophy?
