Kendell Clark '98

Inducted Fall 2025

Kendell Clark, a member of the Class of 1998, is a testament to leadership and athletic excellence. His journey began in the fall of 1994 when he left Chicago, Illinois, to attend Fryeburg Academy. This pivotal move marked the start of a transformative chapter in his life—one that built a strong academic foundation and fostered personal growth.

At Fryeburg Academy, Kendell quickly emerged as a leader. He served as freshman class vice president, sophomore class president, and remained active in both student council and dorm council throughout his years at the Academy. He was a dorm proctor, a member of the Big Buddy Program, and also participated in the Class One-Act Play.

Athletics played a central role in his high school experience. Kendell was a three-sport athlete, competing in football, basketball, and track. He captained the football and basketball teams his senior year, and the track team in both his junior and senior years. His dedication and talent earned him the prestigious All-Conference Football Award in 1997, and he was selected to play in the Shrine Lobster Bowl Game. In track and field, Kendell was both conference and regional champion, as well as the state runner-up in the high jump in 1996 and 1997.

At Commencement, Kendell’s accomplishments were celebrated with numerous awards recognizing his commitment to both academics and athletics. Among them were the Raiders Booster Plaque, the Elizabeth W. Tinker Award for Math, the Eldon Heartz Track Award, the LaCasce Scholarships, the Erickson Award, and the Joseph R. Austin Football Award.

Professionally, Kendell is a highly skilled electrical engineer with more than 15 years of experience managing complex nuclear power plant modification projects. Before pursuing a career in engineering, he spent four years in education, serving as a teacher, coach, and dorm parent at The New Hampton School in New Hampshire. In 2024, Kendell returned to Fryeburg Academy as a member of the Board of Trustees, offering his insights and experience to the school that helped shape him.

Today, Kendell lives in Carlsbad, California, with his spouse, Meghann Hogan—a fellow Fryeburg Academy alumna—and their son, Demar.
