Head of School Welcome
Meet our Acting Head of School
Christina Morse
At Rolling Hills Prep we have a team of remarkable educators and staff who have always risen to the occasion, shown resilience and creativity in the face of challenges, and who have nurtured our students' potential with unwavering care. This dedication was always embodied by our late Head of School, Amy Hollinger, whose legacy and vision continues to inspire our community. In the wake of Ms. Hollinger's untimely passing, Ms. Christina Morse has stepped into the role of leadership as the Acting Head of School through the 2023-24 school year. Ms. Morse, an educator and licensed psychotherapist by training, joined our community 5 years ago.
Christina joins us with over 30 years of experience as an educator and school counselor working on senior administrative teams, providing professional learning and workshops to her fellow colleagues on trauma-informed care in schools. As the parent of an alum in the Class of 2019, Christina experienced firsthand - when high expectations are met with unparalleled individualized support, and she believes in the programs that RHP has to offer. Ms. Christina Morse has graciously and brilliantly served as Acting Head of School since the untimely passing of Ms. Amy Hollinger. Beginning July 1st, 2024, Ms. Morse will become the Associate Head of School. The Board of Trustees extends our sincere gratitude for her efforts.
