Mr. Graham Stars in Alumni Game

June 3, 2009

STA Upper School math teacher Richard Graham–pictured here with Coach Lester–starred in the recent alumni game on May 30, scoring a goal on attack and dazzling the crowd with both his leather helmet and acrobatic moves. While Mr. Graham is not a St. Albans alumnus, he earns honorary status as a result of serving as head JV lax coach for many years and for teaching math here for 17 years. Also, Mr. Graham’s son Armand is not only a St. Albans alumnus, but he is a former STA lax captain, All-IAC player, and national champion at Princeton. Mr. Graham was a lacrosse and football standout at Severn School, and he continued his career at Princeton, where he started in lacrosse and played lightweight football. He was on the last Princeton lax team to win an Ivy League title before Princeton began its Ivy dominance in the 1990s, led by many STA alums, including Andy Moe, Jesse Hubbard, Andy Hubbard, and Winship Ross. We hope to see Mr. Graham at next year’s alumni game, scheduled for Saturday, June 6, 2010, at Noon! (Thank you to the more than 30 STA alumni who showed up for the 2009 game and put a hurt on the returning varsity squad).
