The King and Judy Rogers Endowment for Leadership Development

Judy and King Rogers, parents of King W. Rogers IV ’98, provided an endowment in 2000 to fund annual leadership development programs for MUS students. The income from the fund provides the resources for a renowned speaker on leadership and quarterly workshops for juniors and seniors. The goal of the endowment is to facilitate self-awareness, enhance interpersonal skills, and prepare students for roles as leaders in college and in their communities.

Memphis Leaders

Fall 2007 marked the debut of Memphis Leaders, a leadership training initiative of the Hull Lower School. Even as pre-teens, boys take on leadership roles in the Lower School Student Council, Honor Council, clubs, and teams. Integrating traditional academics with extracurricular activities, alumni involvement, prominent speakers, field trips into the community, counseling, and student support services, Memphis Leaders aims to provide a variety of experiences that will enhance each boy’s leadership potential. The fundamental goal of the program is to make boys more aware of themselves (their strengths, weaknesses, goals, and interests) and how they can best make a positive impact on those around them.

Wilson Society

The Wilson Society recognizes seniors who have proven to the community and to themselves that they understand the MUS Community Creed by incorporating its principles into their lives. In order to be inducted into the society, seniors who participate (typically 30 percent of the class) must submit an essay on the Honor System, teach a Lower School class, participate in an overnight service project, show respect to others, and work one-on-one with a younger student.
