What a special year this is for you! We are starting the countdown on campus to Commencement 2023, and plans are in the works for all of the various events and celebrations that lead up to graduation - including a class picture in the courtyard with students forming the number '23!
Each year, our office engages with the senior class and educates them on the importance of keeping in touch with us once they leave our halls in terms of alumni relations, reunions, and more. Furthermore, we discuss philanthropy at Hamden Hall and the generosity of alumni from past generations who have ensured that today’s students receive the same opportunities - and more - as they did during their time under the pines.
At this time in the school year, we also establish a Senior Parent Legacy Campaign and a Senior Alumni Campaign both for our students and their parents/guardians.
This year, we are excited to announce a new tradition that will commence with the Class of 2023: an Endowed Scholarship Fund in honor of the Class of 2023! This fund will provide educational opportunities to future students who seek a Hamden Hall education but have limited financial resources. By committing to this Fund, a new tradition will be born under the pines in that future senior classes will also have endowed scholarship funds named in their honor. Moving forward, each class will have the ability upon their return to campus to see the growth of their Class Fund and the benefits garnered since its establishment.
Members of the Class of 2023 and their families are encouraged to make gifts to help establish this new fund. Both our Senior Parent Legacy Campaign and Senior Alumni Campaign, in which students are asked to give $20.23, are geared toward this new legacy and its inherent advantages to our school community.

Gifts can be made in honor of your graduating senior, a faculty member, or even a coach! All participating donors will receive special recognition in our annual Hamden Hall Magazine as well as being listed on our traditional Senior Parent Legacy Plaque that will hang in The Ack, the senior lounge.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions as we are happy to connect with you.
