ETHEL ENCKE AWARD  (Award Application) (Past Recipients)

Who was Ethel Encke?

Ethel Encke was probably the most prominent female in PSAHPERD’s history from the early 1930’s to her death in February 1975.

Ethel spent her entire career in teaching, coaching and administering Health, Physical Education and Recreation in the Radnor School District. In the 30’s and 40’s most community recreation programs were under of the School District’s in PA.

Ethel was a life member of PSAHPER, serving it for 40 years, in many capacities from committee member to being one of our first female President’s in 1957. In 1954 she received the Professional Honor Award, then in 1968 she was the recipient of the Elmer B. Cottrell Award. In December 1974, was appointed as our first Executive Secretary.

Tragically, in February 1975 she had heart attack and died at her front door. The first Encke Award was given in 1976.
