On the evening of Thursday, February 16, 2023, teachers and administrators at The Storm King School took a moment to recognize the efforts and achievements of our students during the fall semester at the Winter Academic Awards.  These awards, also known as the “Book Awards,” are a yearly tradition where a student from each class is selected by their teacher for their outstanding work and given a personally-selected book.

In his opening words, Assistant Head of School for Academics Dr. Timothy Lance explained that these awards are designed to “uphold the principles of scholarship, creativity, perseverance, and character” and that “each year, the awards are given to students who are committed to the pursuit of excellence.”

To hand out the awards, Dr. Lance called the department chairs and faculty members of each academic discipline to the stage. The audience cheered as each student approached the podium to receive their books from their teachers. The evening, which was attended by a full house of parents, students, and faculty, marked another great semester of academic excellence at The Storm King School.
