As The Storm King School counts down to its 154th commencement, the community took a moment to celebrate our students’ academic and athletic achievements. On Tuesday, May 24, 2022, parents, faculty, staff, and students came together in the Walter Reade Jr. Theatre for the 2022 Spring Academic Awards and Athletic Awards Ceremony.
In his opening words, Dean of Academics Dr. Timothy Lance explained that the Academic Awards, also called the “Book Awards,” are designed to recognize specific students for their accomplishments in academics as well as visual and performing arts. “Each student we recognize tonight is committed to the active pursuit of excellence; each has developed habits and attitudes which will serve them well beyond today,” said Dr. Lance.
“Our faculty members, who have given many years to working with young people, celebrate this opportunity to lift up and emphasize the ideals of scholarship, creativity, perseverance, and character that are so important to our work and our school.”
Following the Academic Awards, Athletic Director Dr. Nicole Cervantes came to the podium to announce the 2021-2022 Athletic Awards for each varsity and JV team, as well as this year’s new additions of Outdoor Adventure, Fitness, and Leadership.
MVP Awards are given to players who show up every day and earned the respect of their teammates. The Coach’s Awards recognize players whom the coaches can rely upon and deserve recognition for their hard work and commitment to their teams. “For the first time in nearly two years, Storm King Athletics was able to compete fully in three seasons for a total of 14 chances at a championship,” explained Dr. Cervantes in her opening words. “Everyone did a fantastic job this year!”
Congratulations to all of this year’s award winners. Many thanks go out to faculty, staff, and coaches for all of their efforts with our students this year.
