A Centennial Celebration for All
CA’s Centennial celebrations illuminate our history, honor our mission, and celebrate the values and traditions that have animated our school for 100 years. We hope these experiences will bring together members of our community from every era, and that alongside CA’s students, alums, parents, faculty, staff, and friends, you will engage in ways that bring you meaning and joy.
Centennial Gatherings
Alums of Color Reunion
March 31 – April 2, 2023
All alums of color are invited to campus to reconnect, reminisce and enjoy a fun-filled weekend back in Concord. There will be several opportunities throughout the weekend to connect with current students of color, network with fellow alums, and talk with school leadership about the school today. This event is family-friendly so feel free to bring your partners and children and make a trip out of it!
If you identify as a person of color, please register today. Click here to learn more about the event.
A special thank you to the Centennial Alums of Color Reunion planning committee.
