Past honorees include TMI alumni, the late Robert Ayres ’44, the late Tom Frost ’45, Christopher “Kit” Goldsbury ’61, Scott Petty, Jr. ’55 and Dawn Lafreeda.
About the Honoree
The late Marshall Steves, class of 1940, an 11th generation San Antonian, was Chairman of the Board of Steves & Sons, now in its 158th year and the oldest building materials organization in the United States that remains under the same continuous family ownership and management. He was also the Chairman of the Board of Crest Metal Door Company.
A graduate of San Antonio Academy and Texas Military Institute, he was a fourth-generation attendee of Washington and Lee University and graduated from the United States Naval Academy, Class of 1946. After graduation from the United States Submarine School in New London, Conn., he served in submarines for two years prior to his discharge from the Navy to return to his family business.
Marshall was the President of Hemisfair ’68, the San Antonio World’s Fair, and was an active participant in numerous business, social and civic organizations. He was a past trustee of San Antonio Academy, Texas Military Institute, and the San Antonio Medical Foundation; he was the first president of TMI Alumni Association. He was a former director of the Lone Star Brewery, the Alamo National Bank and First Federal Savings and Loan Association. He was also past president of the William Barret Travis Chapter of the Sons of the Republic of Texas. He was trustee of Bat Conservation International, Inc.; a trustee and past president and CEO of the Admiral Nimitz Foundation.
Members of the Steves family have served as mayors of San Antonio and Terrell Hills, as chairman of the Community Chest of San Antonio, now the United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County, among other civic leadership roles. The company, which manufactured propellers for the Army Air Corps during World War I and performed joinery work for Liberty ships during World War II, now has six manufacturing plants with over 1,400 team members in five states, serving the entire country.
Innovation & Design Thinking at TMI Episcopal Since 1893
TMI has been a leader of innovation and design thinking – an approach to learning and serving, reflected in the school’s Episcopal roots, that develops academically prepared and empathetic leaders to their fullest potential. Design thinking gives students a framework for innovating, creating, and solving current-world problems while being centered on empathy, service, and reverence.
Innovation & Design is a mindset that encompasses every aspect of life at TMI. In the spring of 2019, TMI announced its commitment to expanding this approach and additional courses that serve as the foundation for Innovation & Design were added to every grade level during the 2019-2020 school year. In October 2020, we opened the doors to our Walker Innovation Center – a collaborative learning lab space and TMI’s home of creativity. TMI’s Dean of Innovation now oversees the growth and development of Innovation & Design throughout all courses as students in all areas come to the Walker Innovation Center to learn, collaborate, and create.
