Former Faculty Named to Wall of Honor

For the first time in School history, Wall of Honor accolades were presented at the Alumni Awards. Head of School Eric Lombardi announced that Beverly Anne Robinson H’18 and Lt. Colonel Rocky Rosacker H’00 earned 2022 honors. Both were honored posthumously.

Beverly Anne Robinson H’18 (Faculty 1971–2007)

Passionate about developing young minds to think critically, English Teacher Beverly Anne Robinson H’18 enjoyed challenging FWCD Upper School students for 37 years as they examined thought-provoking literature and philosophies. In 1990, she took a legacy step for students and faculty by leading the charge to establish a faculty scholarship program, which was later named to recognize her service. Today, the Beverly Anne Robinson Faculty Endowed Scholarship supports Country Day’s tuition assistance and honors scholars chosen by the faculty for their embodiment of the School’s core values.

Lt. Colonel R.C. “Rocky” Rosacker H’00 (Faculty 1969–1981, 1990–1996)

Touted by alumni as a profound influence on their lives, Lt. Colonel R.C. “Rocky” Rosacker H’00 is known to many as the “father of Country Day’s athletic program.” In his role as Athletic Director beginning in 1969, “The Colonel” initiated FWCD’s colors of red and blue, turned a pasture into sports fields, and amplified the founding vision that athletics teach students participation and respect. Rosacker will be forever known for instilling in FWCD students the sense of “belonging to something constructive and bigger than themselves.”

“Both of these former faculty members at FWCD are getting the School’s most prestigious honor, becoming members of our Wall of Honor,” Lombardi said. “They are the eighth and ninth people in the School’s 59-year history to be named and will have their bronze plaque placed on that wall in the Lou and Nick Martin Campus Center.”
