“Believing in the limitless potential of girls, Hockaday develops resilient, confident women who are educated and inspired to lead lives of purpose and impact.”
– The Hockaday School’s Mission Statement
The Hockaday School is an independent, college-preparatory day and boarding school for girls from Prekindergarten to Grade 12 located in Dallas, Texas. Rita Crocker Clements entered Hockaday at age 14 as a boarding student and graduated in 1949, having developed the strong intellectual and leadership skills which would serve her well in life. Her unwavering and enthusiastic support of the School and its mission would continue for the next 70 years.
Founded in 1913, The Hockaday School seeks to “provide a college preparatory education for girls of strong potential and diverse backgrounds who may be expected to assume positions of responsibility and leadership in a rapidly changing world.” Today, the School continues to support and develop the Four Cornerstones set forth by the founder, Miss Ela Hockaday, in 1913: Character, Courtesy, Scholarship, and Athletics. The Hockaday School fosters a community of concern and friendship and strives “to instill in every girl a love of learning, an understanding of herself and the ethical principles which guide her life, an appreciation of excellence in all its forms, and a commitment to what is right and good.”
Rita was named a Life Trustee of the School in 1981. And in 1990, she received The Hockaday Medal, the highest honor bestowed upon an alumna. Rita strengthened the School’s endowment by establishing two important funds: The Rita Crocker Clements ’49 Teacher Endowment Fund for Science in Honor of N. Pete Lohstreter given by Rita and her family, and The Rita Crocker Clements and Family Endowed Fund for Faculty Development given by Bill Clements, Rita and her family. Rita had two daughters and eight granddaughters, all of whom attended The Hockaday School. Through her family, her endowment funds, and her husband Bill Clements’ generous gift to the School of the Clements Lecture Hall, Rita’s legacy will live on and inspire future generations of strong women.
