Yearbook dedication to 2023 recipient Frederick LeMaine
The Storm King School Alumni Council welcomes nominations for the Margaret Clark Faculty Excellence Award. This award recognizes a former faculty member of longevity whose dedication transcended the classroom and whose high ideals became part of the student-centered tradition of The Storm King School.
Miss Margaret Clark retired from The Storm King School as a distinguished member of the faculty in 1938, completing 44 years of service as an art teacher. During her tenure, Margaret’s responsibilities grew to head of the lower school. During World War I, she ran the infirmary as well as the entire administration, while continuing to teach her legendary art classes. She is also credited with the designing of The Storm King School crest used today.
Nominations are encouraged as soon as possible before the December 31 deadline. Please submit separate forms for each nominee.
The Margaret Clark Faculty Excellence Award will be presented on the School’s Reunion Weekend in June.
