Mark Hill Mullin
From 1977 to 1997, Mark Hill Mullin sustained the excellent quality of education at St. Albans. He also strived to prepare students for a rapidly changing world. To accomplish this, the school began offering Russian and Japanese classes. Student exchange programs and travel fellowships gave students opportunities to study abroad.
A writer-in-residence program allowed boys to work alongside practicing authors. A new social service requirement encouraged boys to work in service of others. When, in the 1980s, a teacher fell ill with AIDS, Mullin provided an example guided the entire community on how to respond compassionately.
Raised in Chicago and Mt. Carroll, Ill., Mullin graduated from Harvard University in 1962 (where he set a new record for the Ivy League mile (4:07.1) and then attended Oxford University as a Marshall Scholar. After receiving his master of divinity from General Theological Seminary, he became a chaplain, teacher, and dean at the Choate School, in Wallingford, Conn., and, before coming to St. Albans, assistant headmaster at the Blue Ridge School, in Dyke, Va.
Located in Washington D.C., St. Albans School is a private, all boys day and boarding school. For more than a century, St. Albans has offered a distinctive educational experience for young men in grades 4 through 12. While our students reach exceptional academic goals and exhibit first-rate athletic and artistic achievements, as an Episcopal school we place equal emphasis upon moral and spiritual education.
