Origins of the School Crest.
In 1935, Storm King adopted Margaret Clark's emblem as its official crest. The School's first female faculty member, she retired in 1938 after 44 years of service — a legacy honored each year by the award that bears her name.
The Storm King shield anchors our identity. Each element draws on our history:
- 01
The Crown
A crown made for a king, capped with bolts of lightning — a storm king.
- 02
The Key
A symbol of access and knowledge — the key each student receives to the Book of Knowledge.
- 03
The Lamp & The Book of Knowledge
For centuries the lit lamp has meant learning. Here it illuminates the Book of Knowledge for every student.
- 04
Ten Circles
Ten coins that ransomed an English Duke of Cornwall — whose title gives Cornwall-on-Hudson its name.
- 05
Feathers
Feathers of aspiration, standing for our core values: truth, respect, and responsibility.
- 06
Three Rectangles & The Bent Bar
