David Roth

For Head of Middle School, David Roth, the words “It’s a great day to be a Mustang” seem as native to his spirit as his dynamic personality and optimism.

David came to McLean as an eighth-grade history and geography teacher. He immediately took to McLean’s responsive classrooms and a strong sense of community. When the Head’s position opened up, he was ready. Having served as Head of Upper School and Middle School at Commonwealth Academy in Virginia, he saw an opportunity to bring his administrative leadership experience to a school to which he had quickly become attached.

His excitement becomes visible as he describes “the school’s amazing culture.” At McLean, he says, “the faculty radiates warmth and excitement. So much goes on here to enrich students, from sports to theatre, to music, to arts, to school trips and community service.”
