St. Mark's School of Texas

The Brendan Court ’06 Summer Enrichment Program celebrated its 20th year of welcoming local Dallas students to campus for two weeks of fun and learning. The tuition-free program also gives St. Mark’s students a chance to experience life as a teacher, organizing daily classes and activities.

In addition to academic lessons, boys learned ceramics and robotics, watched a planetarium show, and enjoyed some friendly competition in the new Rogers Family Fieldhouse.

Happy Father’s Day to all of the incredible Lion dads leading their cubs along the Path to Manhood!

Today we observe Juneteenth with a moment of reflection and gratitude for those who came before us. As we remember the past, we look also to the future, committed to building a community rooted in dignity, understanding, and shared responsibility.

⚽ Goooooooaaaaaaaalllllll! With Dallas hosting more World Cup matches than any other city, we’re looking back at decades of soccer at St. Mark’s.🦁

A new student-created sculpture now stands on campus, the result of months of creativity, craftsmanship, and perseverance by Hudson Da Rosa ’26.

Inspired by the iconic Path to Manhood sculpture outside Centennial Hall, Hudson's design uses two nested arches to represent the relationship between younger and older students and the journey through St. Mark's. Simple in form yet rich in meaning, the piece reflects growth, mentorship, and the passage of time.

Bringing that vision to life required much more than artistic talent. Working with 300- and 500-pound oak beams, Hudson navigated challenges in design, engineering, logistics, and construction, collaborating with faculty and facilities staff while adapting his plans along the way.

More than a work of art, the sculpture reflects one of St. Mark’s most enduring traditions: older boys helping to carry younger boys forward as they grow, learn, and find their place in the community. Congratulations, Hudson, on leaving your mark on St. Mark's. 🦁

Even when the temperature says summer, staying fit and sharpening your skills is always in season.☀️🏋️

Lions are spending part of their break getting stronger, faster, and more prepared for the year ahead.

Sweat now. Shine later. 💪🦁

Congratulations to Harry Flaherty, head varsity football coach and history teacher, on receiving the 2026 Ackerman Family Character Education Award.

Congratulations to the 2026 recipients of the John H. Murrell Excellence in Teaching Award: Susan Morris (Lower School), Mark Scheibmeir (Film Studies), and Dr. Andre Stipanovic (Latin).

Ancient history came to life during the annual Museum of the Ancient World, where sixth-grade Marksmen showcased independent research projects exploring cultures from Ancient Greece and beyond.

After conducting research in the Green Library, each student created a museum-style display featuring a written exhibit description and a related 3-D model. The event also gave fifth graders an early look at a signature Humanities experience waiting for them next school year.
