Each year, Wells Fargo Advisors recognizes a City Academy alumnus with the Wells Fargo Advisors Alumni Service Award. This year, two graduates were recognized at our Annual Luncheon on December 1: Marshall Strawbridge ’11 (The Fulton School ’17) and Mark Wheeler ’11 (Whitfield School ’17).
Mark and Marshall are leaders in their schools, communities, and among City Academy alumni and current students. They serve on our alumni committee, are athletes at their secondary schools, and participate in our alumni support program – Strive for College at Washington University in St. Louis. During the summer of 2016, each graduate volunteered over 200 hours as mentors in our Summer at City program.
Mark and Marshall are dedicated to being their best and strive for success. Mark enjoys science and engineering, being a member of Whitfield’s soccer team, and participating in acrobat groups such as Circus Harmony and Saint Louis Arches. Mark has also participated in summer engineering camps and dreams of becoming an engineer after attending college.
Marshall is a member of student council, the agricultural club, and is the founder of the robotics club at the Fulton School. The robotics club was a finalist in the 2016 regional FIRST Robotics Competition in St. Louis. Marshall dreams of studying computer engineering in college and hopes to begin a cyber security company.
The entire City Academy community is impressed with Mark and Marshall’s dedication to themselves, to others, and to transforming our community. They continue to forward our region as leaders as individuals and as friends. We are thrilled to present Marshall and Mark with the Wells Fargo Advisors Alumni Service Award.
