Chestnut Hill Academy Alumni

Thank you for your loyal following. Now that we are one community (Springside Chestnut Hill Academy), we have decided to merge the SS and CHA accounts into one alumni page. Of course, we will still continue to highlight our fabulous Springside School and Chestnut Hill Academy alumni and share your stories here. Our legacy schools mean everything to the SCHool we are today!

Please continue to follow our alumni activity Springside Chestnut Hill Academy Alumni.

This past weekend, SCH welcomed over 600 alumni back on campus, ranging from classes of 1942 through 2017. The campus was bustling with school tours, Alumni Awards, alumni vs SCH student athletic games, book signings, our traditional Friday Night Cocktails, and Saturday Night Dinner. We also hosted our first-annual, Black Alumni Brunch at the Jennings House and Alumni Playdate on the McCausland campus—don’t worry if you missed these, they will become a yearly tradition during Alumni weekend for years to come!
