Dr. Chris Wolski

RCA HEADMASTER

A native of Smyrna, Georgia, Dr. Wolski has devoted more than 30 years to the calling of education, uniting academic excellence with a deep commitment to the Great Commission. Beginning his teaching journey in 1995, his passion for history and mentoring the next generation has shaped his lifelong service.

Family remains central to his life. Dr. Wolski has been married to his wife, Staci, for nearly 30 years, with their 30th anniversary to be celebrated in August 2026. Together, they are the parents of two children, Hailley and Elijah. The Wolski family continues to honor Hailley’s memory, who went home to be with the Lord following a car accident three years ago, by living out a resilient faith grounded in the hope of the Gospel.

Dr. Wolski holds a Ph.D. in Educational Administration from Capella University, an M.S. in Education Technology from Walden University, and a Post-Baccalaureate Certification from Columbus State University. He earned his Bachelor of Science in History from Georgia State University.
