The John H. “Jock” Burbank ’56 Scholarship In celebration of our friend and colleague, we are pleased to announce the formation of the John H. “Jock” Burbank ’56 Scholarship established by John ’82, Michael ’58, and Stephen ’60 Burbank in honor of Jock as a lauded scholar, passionate linguist, and beloved educator. The Scholarship will be awarded annually and support the financial needs of an incoming ninth grader for the student’s full four years at Harvey. Recipients will be selected based on their academic standing, passion for learning, and commitment to school life. Jock began his career as an educator at Harvey in 1964, after serving in the Army and while attending Columbia University. He left in 1968 to pursue his master’s degree at Yale. In 1975, Jock returned to Harvey where he stayed for 11 years serving as a teacher, department chair, admissions director, mentor, assistant headmaster, and member of the school’s Board of Trustees. Jock spent 23 years as part of the Harvey community, inspiring and shaping minds young and old. 26 HAR VEY MAGAZINE // winter 2022
