Athletic Complex Takes Shape

While the hallways and classrooms of 10600 Preston Road are quiet over the summer, activity is ramping up on the northeast side of campus, where just over one year ago, St. Mark's broke ground on the Marksman Athletic Complex. Once completed, this facility will benefit Marksmen across campus.  

 

This building will also serve as a testament to the generosity and vision of the families who have supported its construction — including one family whose leadership will be honored in its name: the Zierk Athletic Center. 
 

"The St. Mark’s community welcomed us when we moved here in late 2019. Our support is our way of also saying thank you to the many St. Mark’s families who helped us make Dallas our home,” said Dawn and David Zierk. “Furthermore, after seeing the Trustees, the administration, and Beck construction build an outstanding Winn Science Center, we had full confidence in this next vital project for the school.” 

 
More than 115 community members have joined the Zierks in committing over $86 million total to date in support of this singular undertaking. The inspiring stories and lifelong connections to St. Mark’s represented by each one of these gifts is truly humbling. From multi-generational families, long serving Trustees and volunteers to parents of newer Marksmen, a diverse array of families representing a broad swath of affiliation with the School all stepped forward in support of students.
