The Storm King School Alumni Council welcomes nominations for the Margaret Clark Faculty Excellence Award at Reunion 2027.


Miss Margaret Clark retired from The Storm King School after 44 years of service as an art teacher. During her tenure, Margaret’s responsibilities grew to include serving as the head of the lower school. During World War I, she ran the infirmary and the entire administration while continuing to teach her legendary art classes. She is also credited with designing The Storm King School crest used today.



This award recognizes a former faculty/staff member of longevity whose dedication transcended the classroom and whose high ideals became part of the student-centered tradition of The Storm King School. The nominee must have contributed significantly to The Storm King School community.


Please submit separate forms for each nominee. Nominations are encouraged as soon as possible and by December 1. On December 31, all nominations are closed. 


The award will be presented on Reunion Weekend in June 2027. Nominators' commitment to attend and/or recruit others to celebrate this recipient will be considered in the selection.
