New Master Teacher Announced
At a special faculty meeting on Thursday, September 14, 2017, Eugene McDermott Headmaster David W. Dini shared the exciting news of a new endowed teaching position. The Sally & Edward Genecov Master Teaching Chair is the result of a generous gift by Lisa and David Genecov ’82 named in honor of David’s parents.
David Genecov has remained an active member and leader of the St. Mark’s community. Since 2011, he has served on the Board of Trustees and currently chairs the Education Committee. In 2014, he visited campus as a guest speaker for the inaugural St. Mark’s STEM Conference, and he also spoke in 2004 about his role in the separation of the conjoined Egyptian twins. A multi-generational St. Mark’s family, David and Lisa are the proud parents of Mike ’07, Max ’11, Matt ’13, and Megan.
David Dini also announced the selection of Upper School math teacher Amy Pool as the first holder of the Sally & Edward Genecov Master Teaching Chair.
“I feel truly honored because there are so many exceptional teachers at St. Mark’s who are master teachers in their own right,” Amy said. “The Genecovs' generosity and thoughtfulness embody two of the most important things that make St. Mark’s such a wonderful place to be. Their extraordinary gift reminds us why we love being a part of this special community.”
Amy joined the St. Mark’s faculty in 2011. She currently teaches Precalculus, AP Calculus AB, and Independent Study in Advanced Math and serves as the Senior Class Co-Sponsor and Upper School Math Team Co-Sponsor.
