“One of my best memories of SKS was Graduation Day. Mr. Horton, the Headmaster, believed public speaking skills were critical, and taught a mandatory public speaking class. Every graduating student was required to give a speech. One of my classmates, Tony Behar, was an avid photographer. He walked up to the lectern, collected his diploma and gave his speech. At the end, he said he wouldn’t be a photographer if he didn’t take advantage of this moment. Then he pulled out his camera and took photos of the whole audience!

I remember it so many years later because it was novel in the pre-cellphone era, but also because it was so cool seeing one of my classmates memorializing our shared journey. And now I’m memorializing it here, as a story all these years later.

Tony, if you’re reading this, please post some of those pictures!”

“SKS instilled in me a love for learning, how to be a better person, a better athlete and teammate, and taught me what hard work looks and feels like.”

“SKS holds a special place in my heart. I am fortunate and proud to call myself an SKS Alum.”

“I developed the foundation for learning and perseverance at SKS. I learned to look at problems creatively and was encouraged to ask questions. I now spend my days at work doing what I love.”

“Perhaps the most important influence SKS has had on me is the lifelong connection to the school, my classmates and the faculty and alumni who are pillars of support to me whenever I need them. I wouldn’t exchange one moment of my connection to SKS for anything. Nothing.”

“Storm King helped me develop the leadership skills and confidence I have today, ultimately helping me work towards my career and athletic goals.”

“I was throwing a baseball against our house when my parents called me inside and introduced me to Mr. Harrison Davis as the Headmaster of SKS and informed me that, in a few days, I would start 7th Grade as a Day Student. It was a very good year and the start of a wonderful relationship. The following Summer, our mother passed away and within a few months, the family business failed. I returned to Storm King where the whole SKS community supported me through my grief…The Board of Trustees offered me [a} scholarship and I entered 9th grade as a boarding student…it changed my whole life and set the foundation for a very satisfying life.”
