Senior Parent Legacy Fund

Congratulations to the Class of 2022!



Dear Senior Families, 
We hope your 2022 is off to a wonderful start! Can you believe Commencement 2022 is only a few short months away? The past few years have indeed been different for our seniors, but they have come together and excelled in all areas of the Hamden Hall Experience. 
As tradition has it under the pines, the senior families celebrate their soon-to-be graduates by participating in the annual Senior Parent Legacy Fund. This traditional fund has been established to honor your child; or a favorite teacher, coach, family member, or friend who has made an impact on you and your family during your time at Hamden Hall. 
This year, gifts to the Senior Parent Legacy Fund will support the newly established Maria Agulian Fund and honor Mrs. Maria Agulian for the outstanding impact she has had during her 26 years at Hamden Hall. As we all know, Mrs. Agulian has helped our children solve problems, made math fun and relatable, and encouraged growth and confidence in our students. 
Please join us in celebrating Mrs. Agulian and continuing her legacy of excellence by making a gift that is meaningful to you in honor of your senior. We are hoping to garner 100 percent participation from our senior families this year for our Senior Parent Legacy Fund.
In addition, all participants in the Senior Parent Legacy Fund will be acknowledged with a traditional plaque that will be displayed in The Ack, the senior lounge.
 
Feel free to reach out to any of our Senior Parent Committee members with questions or contact the Office of Advancement at 203.752.2616.

We look forward to celebrating our seniors and enjoying the road to Commencement 2022, which is truly underway.
Sincerely, 

The Senior Parent Legacy Fund Committee

The Maria Agulian Fund

The Maria Agulian Fund has been established to honor longtime Hamden Hall mathematics teacher Maria Agulian. Mrs. Agulian created a legacy of teaching excellence during her 26 years under the pines. Her passion, drive, encouragement, and dedication to her craft is honorable and is a vital component of the Hamden Hall Experience. Through this fund, students and faculty will benefit academically, socially, and emotionally from myriad mathematics enrichment programs and experiences. The impact of this fund will emulate the impact Mrs. Agulian had on her students, both past and present.

    "The power of education and the development of critical thinking is at the core of what Hamden Hall Country Day School has to offer.  Both of our sons, Louis ’22 and Nicholas ’24, have been well-prepared for every stage of their educational development under the pines.  Hamden Hall’s rigorous curriculum and exceptional teachers offered our sons both the challenge and the support they needed to grow.

    "I decided long ago that my focus had to be my children’s education in an environment where they can grow and become leaders of their own destiny.  Hamden Hall has been exactly that, the small classes, the diversity, and the many sports make Hamden Hall a community not just a school.  The student section of the bleachers at any of the games is attended by students, parents, and staff members alike, all cheering for their friends supporting their fellow Hornets.  Our Hornets come in all different sizes from preschoolers all the way to college ready individuals."

    “Agreeing to send my son Richard to Hamden Hall was a decision I made without hesitation. Even knowing as a single parent the cost and time involvement was not going to be easy after having sent his older brother.  In the 10 consecutive years my boys have attended Hamden Hall, I have witnessed the quality of education and the dedication of the staff to be second to none."

    "Kate's Hamden Hall journey started when she entered Kindergarten at age 4, and she has enjoyed every day since. Immersed in Hamden Hall's interknit community, Kate was able to forge close relationships with her teachers (she still visits her Lower School teachers every week) and bloom into a kind, intelligent, and strong young lady."

    “Investing in our children’s education has always been a top priority for our family. With that being said, Hamden Hall was one of the best decisions we have made. It was an easy one too—we saw the growth in our daughter, Riya, from the minute she stepped foot on campus till the day she walked the stage at her 2019 graduation. We wanted the same environment for our son and decided to enroll him as well!
