The Storm King School 2022 Reunion Celebration took place on Saturday, June 11 – the first in-person Reunion held in three years! Alums reunited with old friends, honored successes through Alumni Awards, and reminisced about their time once spent here. 

The full day of events began with the tradition of gathering at Memorial Rock, remembering Storm King Community members who passed over the last year. Following the service, alumni came back to Ledoux Terrace to look at the newly-laid commemorative bricks, and catch up with one another.

At 11 AM,  the guests enjoyed a delicious brunch prepared by Chef Andrew Comey and his team, including an omelet station, make-your-own waffles and mimosas.

After brunch, alumni roamed the campus to see the changes and improvements that have been made since the last time they were on the Mountain. Some had their children in tow, and were able to show them their previous dorms and the classrooms that held their favorite classes. Throughout the afternoon, alums were seen donning baseball mitts and playing catch on their old stomping grounds.

In the late afternoon, attendees gathered in Ogden Hall where Headmaster Jonathan W.R. Lamb kicked off the Alumni Awards Presentation. He gave a brief State of the School address, touching on the successes of our most recent graduating class of 2022, and reminding alumni that they always have a home at Storm King. 

Mr. Lamb’s presentation was followed by the 2022 Alumni Awards, beginning with Sports Hall of Fame (SHOF) inductions: Past Faculty Member (1971-75) and former Ski Coach Paul Davis presented the awards to Wray Farmin ’72 and Joseph Austin ’72 for competitive Skiing and Steven Wooten ’04 presented the award to Jennifer Hudson ’02 for golf. The Alumni Humanitarian Award was presented to David Hartcorn ’73 for his work of building homes and providing assistance in El Salvador. His longtime friend Christopher Capers ’74 introduced him and awarded him the honor. The final award of the day, the Alumni Arts Awards, went to Gary Springer ’72, Actor and Arts Publicist. Performing Arts Department Chair Anne Fulton presented his award. The audience was treated to videos created by the School’s film teacher, Zhenya Kiperman, of David and Gary’s accomplishments. 

The evening drew to a close with a fabulous dinner banquet in Orr Commons. The banquet was kicked off by Director of Annual Giving Sarah Fulton ‘09 who asked the guests to raise a glass to toast Storm King: “May her future be as bright as her past.”  Their full attention was then turned towards the food, fun, and one another for the rest of the evening. The atmosphere in Orr Commons was jovial as old and new friends laughed, reminisced, and shared memories, making Reunion 2022 a great success. Many thanks go out to all who were involved, especially our returning alumni and their families.
