Head of School grapples with issues of race, class, culture, and competition, while exploring the nature of intelligence, the power of privilege, and our drive to separate ourselves from others. The exclusive independent school for the gifted Piper leads faces the same demands for equity that, years earlier, compelled Einstein Science & Tech, the county's nationally ranked high school, to abandon its rigorous admissions test. Lobbied by parents and students, and manipulated by a shrewd Board Chair and a brilliant former Einstein physics teacher, Piper struggles to reconcile her duty to the exceptional students she serves with her growing reluctance to sort and label young children. Head of School’s authentic, relatable characters illuminate the highly charged and complex issues surrounding gifted education and elite school admissions, while encouraging informed debate on how best to ensure all children get what they need to learn.
