About the Rogers Award
The Ralph B. Rogers Alumni Award is given annually to a teacher or staff member of St. Mark's School of Texas who have made an important and pioneering contribution to the mission of the School and the School community. This contribution may be in any arena including academic, athletic and extracurricular efforts that enhance St. Mark's relationship with the community. "Contributions," as defined by this award, will specifically exclude contributions made by teachers in the realm of teaching as described by the Murrell Excellence-in-Teaching Award. Contributions are meant to be initiatives taken outside of the confines of the individual's job description that extend the bounds of the learning experience for St. Mark's students either inside or outside of the classroom.
The size of the contribution is less important than either its meaning or potential long-term impact. The goal of the award is to encourage and reward individuals for devoting personal energy in working beyond the normal boundaries of his or her job description.
Qualification:
Any teacher or staff member of any tenure at St. Mark's is eligible. This shall include department chairpersons, holders of Master Teaching Chairs, and past recipients of the Murrell Excellence-in-Teaching Award, as well as those individuals receiving recognition in any given year for tenure. Candidates must be nominated by a St. Mark's faculty or staff member, a St. Mark's student or a parent of a current St. Mark's student.
Award:
Three semifinalists will be selected from the candidates by the Ralph B. Rogers Alumni Award Committee and announced at the St. Mark's Spring Alumni Dinner. Each semifinalist will receive a financial award. The recipient will be determined from the semifinalists and announced at the Upper School final assembly of the school year. The winner will receive an additional financial award in recognition of his or her achievement.
The Ralph B. Rogers Alumni Award Committee, made up of alumni representatives, will select semifinalists and recipients after conducting interviews, careful deliberation, and consideration of the nominations.
