Joe Corsaro Wins Laurel School's 2024-2025 Mary French Conway '46 Endowment for Teaching Excellence

Laurel School Faculty & Staff Awards are presented annually at the end of the academic year.

Joe Corsaro | Upper School History Teacher and Entrepreneurship Program Leader

As a member of the History Department and the “Godfather” of Entrepreneurship at Laurel, Mr. Corsaro can be seen throughout Laurel. A teacher of Economics, an advisor to girls making pitches, the vision and practical force behind One Coffee Circle, and even a lacrosse coach — he is indefatigable and his commitment to Laurel runs deep with two Laurel sisters, a Laurel daughter, and a wife who is a member of the Early Childhood faculty!

Though Mr. Corsaro possesses a calm demeanor, he has a deep commitment to all he takes on, and forges connections with students and colleagues every day He single-handedly created and taught the Upper School Financial Literacy Program, and his students regularly excel on the APs in Economics. He is a devoted advisor and mentor to many students and is always willing to help girls take their passions and present their work beyond Laurel. He is a team player who takes his service to the school and the work of the division very seriously. Mr. Corsaro knows what it means to show up.

The Mary French Conway ’46 Endowment for Teaching Excellence

The purpose of the Mary French Conway Award is to recognize excellence in teaching, both in the classroom and in a demonstration of commitment to the School through participation in non-classroom activities with students. This year, two recipients have been selected to receive this honor.
