On June 7, the Friday of Reunion Weekend, Concord Academy welcomed more than those expected at their class reunions. All CA alumnae/i from every generation were invited to campus to begin a new tradition — the Annual Alumnae/i Assembly. Keep the date in mind for next year: June 5, 2020!

From June 7 through June 9, CA welcomed more than 200 alumnae/i and former faculty back to campus. Idyllic spring weather set the tone for a Concord Academy reunion weekend with strong turnout and great energy. With attendees returning from 14 different classes — from the class of 1949 celebrating its 70th reunion to the class of 2014, its fifth — the weekend gave former classmates many opportunities to catch up, reminisce, and explore today’s campus and the town of Concord. Alumnae/i from across the generations had a chance to mingle and learn how others remain involved in the life of the school, and to make new connections with fellow alumnae/i who have carried CA’s values out into the world.

Concord Academy is fortunate to have a vibrant community of parent volunteers who play a critical role in the life and culture of the school. This year, you have once again gone above and beyond to make our students, faculty, and staff feel extra special and appreciated. Our community would not be the same without you, and we thank you for everything you have done this year! A special thanks to Kerry Hoffman P’14 ’20 for her thoughtful leadership and dedication as she concludes her first year as president of CA Parents.

Explore the opportunities to get involved with CA Parents — from welcoming new parents to leading prospective families on tours of campus, coordinating family weekend events, and participating in on-campus events to support the Annual Fund. Every year over 200 parents volunteer, whether they live near or far. Volunteering is a great way to meet fellow families, get to know the school, and help CA. Learn more and sign-up here.

Congratulations to all our graduates and their families! We wish you all the best as you move on to the next stage of your lives. Please remember that you are always part of the Concord Academy community. We look forward to seeing returning students back on campus in August. Thanks for making this another wonderful year at CA.

On May 31, a day of hope and promise, Concord Academy celebrated its 97th graduating class. A mixture of solemnity and high spirits marked the occasion, on which Assistant Head and Academic Dean John Drew P’15 ’19, soon to depart CA to become the head of the White Mountain School in Bethlehem, N.H., delivered the Commencement address. Some of his advice for CA’s newly minted alumnae/i: “Being awake to your surroundings is essential. You and the world both need that attention and connection.”

Concord Academy provides final reports for your children electronically on the school’s parent portal. These spring semester reports will be available through the portal starting on Monday, June 17.

Next week, returning families will receive an email from us detailing the steps on how to register your child(ren) for school next year. The initial registration will be due on June 24 so please plan accordingly.
