McMenamin, Joan Stitt
Person
Biography
Joan Stitt McMenamin served as the fifth headmistress of the Nightingale-Bamford School from 1971 until her retirement in 1992.
Mrs. McMenamin attended the Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, New York. She then attended Smith College, where she earned an economics degree, and the Katharine Gibbs School for secretarial skills (per her father's wishes, who believed it would insure her financial independence).
In 1959, Mrs. McMenamin first came to Nightingale as a typist for Catherine Woodbridge, who was headmistress at that time. Her education and talents led to her role as a history teacher, where she emphasized knowledge of current events.
The Joan Stitt McMenamin lecture was created following her death in 2004, with the first lecture given in November 2005.
