🎉 Panthers...Assemble! What a great weekend having the Classes of 2001 and 2002 back on campus!

Alumni spent last Sunday catching up, touring the campus to see what’s changed (and what hasn't), and getting a sneak peek at the renderings for the new Commons before construction kicks off this fall!

Thank you to everyone who came out to reconnect and spend time together. No matter how many years go by, coming back always feels like home. 🐾

Did you catch senior Aiden Otterman in yesterday's Valley News? We’re so proud to see him working hard on the campaign trail this summer—knocking on doors, listening to neighbors, and putting civic engagement into action! Read the full feature below. 🗞️👇

Aiden Otterman is running for the Vermont House, potentially making him the youngest legislator ever elected if he wins in November.

A crew of beloved veteran teachers retired from Thetford Academy at the end of the school year. Together, these five educators dedicated the equivalent of over a century of service to students at Thetford Academy and other schools in their careers. In recorded interviews with their colleague Kristen, Jennifer, Karyn, Chris, Tiffany, and Elizabeth reflect on the paths that led them to the classroom; the stories, colleagues, and students they’ll never forget; and what comes next. As they look ahead to retiring (or “pivoting” as Tiffany likes to say), they share their plans and hopes for the future.
