Faculty-Staff Directory
At Sandy Spring Friends School, we are a community of radical optimists, led by Quaker values, and called to serve as educators for a new generation of compassionate, critical thinkers. The spirit of radical optimism has been infused into the School since our founding, and we hold a deep belief that despite all things pointing otherwise, the right and good can prevail. And, having faith that this outcome is possible, we put our sweat equity into working it into being.
Current SSFS community members can find emails for our faculty/staff on their respective portal pages:
