Sarah “Sally” Jeacock Munschauer '43
was the quintessential SEM student. She served as Hornet captain, was a member of the baseball, basketball, and field hockey teams, and in her senior yearbook was voted, “first to ‘join up’.” Indeed, Sally “joined-up” for many causes throughout her life, including the Buffalo Zoo and the United Way.

An avid rower later in her life, Sally was a founding member of West Side Rowing Club’s Master Woman Rowing Program and won a gold medal in the mixed doubles race at the 1994 U.S. Masters Nationals in Augusta, GA.
To celebrate Sally’s life and carry on her legacy at SEM, the Munschauer family established a fully endowed scholarship in her memory for an exceptional student who wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend SEM.

The first Munschauer scholar started school in September 2020 as a proud member of the Class of 2024. Thank you to the Munschauer family for this extraordinary gift. Sally’s scholarship impacts all in our school community; for the scholar, it is a life-changing opportunity, and the SEM community benefits from all the Munschauer scholars offer our school. Thank you, Sally, for your impact! 1. Barbara Cowan Hyde and Sally at Reunion in 2017. 2. Sally often attended the Shamrock Row ergatta to cheer on the SEM team. Circa 2013 3.
