Allen Schwamb Receives Emerson Excellence in Teaching Award

Each year, Emerson recognizes educators in the St. Louis metropolitan area who stand out among their peers for their excellence in the classroom. Westminster is excited to announce that Allen Schwamb, our performing arts department chair, has been selected as a 2019 honoree for this prestigious award.

Mr. Schwamb is the epitome of an educator who goes above and beyond what is required. He has an unrivaled passion for both the content he teaches and for the students with whom he works. This work ethic and passion combine to produce incredible results, to which anyone who has attended a Westminster concert or musical can attest.

Mr. Schwamb has dedicated his career to sharing his passion for music and performance with his students, and this dedication has paid off time and time again. Students, parents, and colleagues all agree: Westminster is incredibly blessed to have Mr. Schwamb as a member of our faculty and community. Please join us in congratulating him on being selected as a recipient of this year’s Emerson’s Excellence in Teaching Award. Well done, Mr. Schwamb, and thank you for all you do!
