OVERVIEW | WINNERS | CRITERIA & NOMINATIONS
Steven D. Ruzicka was the longest-serving executive director during TABS thirty-two year history. Steve led the Association with distinction from 1995, during its final days as an office within NAIS, through its incorporation as an independent entity in 1999, until his death in 2007. A lifelong educator, he is remembered professionally for his vision and love for boarding schools, coupled with his trademark energy, compassion, and determination, which led TABS through a period of tremendous growth and progress. The belief that anything was possible guided his service to the Association and the schools he represented, which he believed were, and should be, the best in the world.A native of Minnesota, where his family still owns and manages a farm near Minneapolis, Steve’s career with boarding schools took him first to St. Mary’s in Texas and later, to St. Stephen’s Episcopal School in Austin, where he served as Director of Admission from 1988-1995.
