HADDOCK FAMILY PROFILE

WHETHER ONE GRADUATED FROM BAYLOR IN THE 1980s, 1990s OR IN THE 2000s, THERE IS A COMMON BOND AND KINSHIP. I WANT TO GIVE BACK TO ALLOW OTHERS TO HAVE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AND EXPERIENCES AND TO BE A PART OF THE BAYLOR FAMILY.”

CURRENT PARENTS BAYLOR FUND PARENT CHAIRS LEADERSHIP DONORS UNCORKED AUCTION CHAIRS BAYLOR WORKS SPONSORS Amy Frost Haddock ’97 and John Haddock ’97’s, lifelong affiliation with Baylor stems from their understanding that giving back to Baylor is an investment in a future generation of leaders.

As the 2021-22 Baylor Fund Upper School parent chairs, recent event and sponsor chairs of the Uncorked auction, sponsors of BaylorWorks interns at John’s company, Transcard, and finally, parents of three current Baylor students, Charlotte Ann ’23, Eli ’25, and Gracie ’29, it can seem like the Haddocks’ journey with Baylor was just beginning at their moment of graduation. “I was taught by my parents it’s better to give than to receive. It’s been a lesson they instilled in me from childhood. So as an adult, I want to give back to help support and provide opportunities to others that were afforded to me,” says Amy.

John cites the foundational memory of realizing that he would have the chance to go to Baylor as a part of his decision to give back. “I can still remember my mom picking me up from Signal Mountain Middle School with the Baylor acceptance letter and her telling me that Baylor also provided significant financial aid. Now, we are blessed to have the ability to give back so that other students in similar financial situations can experience Baylor,” John says.

The pair understands that their experience at Baylor was underscored by the development of what Amy describes as “the desire to push harder and be better” and John describes as learning to “go the extra mile.” However, both emphasized the importance of relationships in developing this understanding, whether with classmates or with coaches and teachers. “Whether one graduated from Baylor in the 1980s, 1990s or in the 2000s, there is a common bond and kinship,” said John. “I want to give back to allow others to have those relationships and experiences and to be a part of the Baylor family.”
