Honoring Dedication and Service.
Each year, Rectory School proudly presents the prestigious Kellogg Award, a special honor established in 1993 by Rectory alumnus Peter Kellogg '57 in tribute to his mother, Mrs. James Crane Kellogg III. The award recognizes the exceptional dedication and commitment of Rectory employees who go above and beyond in serving the school and its students.
Two recipients are selected annually, chosen for their many years of service and their profound impact on both the school and its community. The Kellogg Award celebrates those who truly make a difference in the lives of our students, helping to shape the vibrant, supportive environment that defines Rectory.
2025 Kellogg Award for Excellence in Education: Felicia Rodman
Rectory School proudly honored Ms. Felicia Rodman with the prestigious 2025 Kellogg Award in recognition of her outstanding contributions as a teacher, coach, dorm parent, and campus leader. Hired initially as a learning specialist, Ms. Rodman has grown into a pillar of Rectory’s academic and residential life, now teaching history in one of the school’s most intellectually engaging and inviting classrooms.
Known for her high standards, unwavering dedication, and student-centered approach, Ms. Rodman fosters deep, skill-based learning while encouraging ownership and initiative among her students. Her dynamic involvement extends beyond the classroom—she has coached flag football, basketball, fencing, and softball; served as a dorm parent; and currently holds key leadership positions as faculty liaison to the Board of Trustees and co-chair of the Faculty Life Committee.
A role model of professionalism and heart, Ms. Rodman exemplifies the spirit of the Kellogg Award—celebrating both tenure and impact at Rectory.
2025 Kellogg Award for Transformational Service: Marcia Williams
Rectory School is delighted to present the 2025 Kellogg Award to Mrs. Marcia Williams, whose 15 years of steadfast dedication and quiet leadership have left a lasting mark on the school’s operational strength and community warmth.
Originally arriving on campus with no formal role, Mrs. Williams quickly became indispensable—first by transforming Rectory’s data management systems with her sharp expertise, then by stepping into the development office where her creativity and determination helped raise alumni and parent engagement to record levels. Known for her responsiveness, grace under pressure, and willingness to tackle any task—technical or interpersonal—she has been a go-to resource across departments.
Whether she was modernizing databases, hosting alumni at Brittain House, or making students feel at home during tough times, Mrs. Williams approached each responsibility with thoughtfulness and a deep sense of care. Her impact is profound and enduring, and this award celebrates the exceptional difference she continues to make.
