• The Surdyk Award

  A Lovett family made a memorial contribution to the school's endowment which generates funding for an annual award to be presented to a Lovett faculty member or administrator who has provided an exceptionally high degree of individual attention to and concern for students in all areas of school life. The recipient must be actively involved in classroom teaching. The Surdyk Award Committee, consisting of the Headmaster, the Principals, and the Academic Dean, meets each spring to select the person who best exemplifies these characteristics. Any faculty or staff member may recommend a nominee to the committee. Neither length of employment at Lovett nor intention to return for the coming year is a consideration. While the use of the award is unrestricted, the donors are hopeful that some of the proceeds can assist with the recipient's development of the craft of teaching.

• The Wood Family Distinguished Teaching Fellowship

Many dozens of Lovett’s friends responded generously to this challenge, allowing us to award this fellowship for the first time in 2014. The fellowship provides a wonderful stipend to a teacher in recognition of his or her exceptional skills and accomplishments as a master teacher. The award furthers many of the goals that Carla and Leonard and Lovett hold so dear for our teachers: pursuit of excellence, life-long learning, creative thought and instruction, and the nurture of the whole child.
