Congratulations to Mark Brunton, Upper School history teacher and Middle School soccer coach, who received the prestigious Arts and Science Council's Cato Lifetime Achievement in Teaching Award. 

"Brunton’s vision of teaching history goes beyond an emphasis on the memorization of names, dates, and events. He fuses literature and art into a fuller and deeper understanding of a time period. The culmination of his United States History class is a paper and presentation where each student must research a topic of their choosing that has had a lasting impact on American society, economy, or culture."

Lifetime Achievement Award recipients have careers of more than 15 years in teaching art, science, or history, or have creatively infused art, science, or history into the core academic curriculum, and demonstrated school and community leadership and dedication to education. Each recipient receives $5,000 and an original work of art.

Congratulations, Mark, and thank you for your commitment to excellence!
