I have been a member of the faculty at Phoenix Country Day School for thirty one years. Because of my involvement with RISD,s first seminar for high school teachers, I was given the opportunity to award a student of Phoenix Country Day the RISD award to an outstanding senior. Many of my students have gone to RISD after graduation. I am no longer a faculty member at the school being forced to retire due to the financial climate of the school. I don't know if this ends the awarding of the RISD prize or not. Sincerely, James Cook
