Serving Principia in numerous capacities for nearly thirty years, Art Schulz embodied the very best of the school’s scholastic, spiritual, and leadership ideals. In grateful recognition of his example of Christian living and his impact on hundreds of young lives, the Principia Alumni Association, in 1982, established a special endowment in Art’s memory.
