Leave Your Mark

DR. REY BOSITA & DR. JUDY HSU BOSITA

“As a family enjoying the St. Mark’s experience of today, we asked ourselves, ‘How can we make it even better in the future?’”

—Dr. Rey Bosita & Dr. Judy Hsu Bosita

As parents of four current Marksmen and close relatives of several alumni, few families are more entrenched within the St. Mark’s community than Dr. Rey Bosita & Dr. Judy Hsu Bosita. And while deep familial ties can certainly impact one’s fervor for supporting the School, for Rey, it was a joint experience with his son, Carson ’25, that created a very real and tangible bond with our school.

“The Frank Jordan Wilderness Trip to Wyoming was instrumental to us falling more in love with St. Mark’s. I never had an opportunity like that in my education,” said Rey. “It would have been incredible to spend a week camping in Wyoming with my Dad and all my classmates!”

There is no denying that the St. Mark’s experience is both difficult and competitive, but the experiences and resources provided to the boys daily through the long-term support of so many community members create an atmosphere in which every Marksmen can succeed.

Members of the Menter B. Terrill Society maximize their support of St. Mark’s through planned gifts and leave a legacy that will benefit future generations of Marksmen. This society celebrates alumni, parents, and friends who include the School in their long term philanthropic plans. Estate gifts, retirement plan beneficiary designations and other planned gift vehicles provide critical resources that ensure St. Mark’s can sustainably deliver an exceptional education and transformative growth opportunities.

For Rey and Judy, joining The Terrill Society was a monumental step in their relationship with St. Mark’s.

“It was a huge step putting St. Mark’s in our will, but in the end the decision was very easy. We choose to honor places that improve our lives and the lives of our four sons, and St. Mark’s has done just that,” said Rey. “In fact, we see every day on campus as another opportunity for our sons to learn and grow even more. The years they spend at St. Mark’s will pay great dividends in college and beyond.”
