- Senior Parent Legacy Fund

Dear Class of 2021 Parents,

It’s hard to believe that graduation is quickly approaching! This has been a unique year to say the least, and we would like to recognize the resilience and perseverance of our Hamden Hall Class of 2021. As we begin to celebrate our seniors in the countdown to graduation, we ask you to join us by participating in the 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 under the pines.

This year, the Senior Parent Legacy Fund will support Hamden Hall’s planned cafeteria renovation project, which involves a two-phase expansion and remodel of our existing dining hall space and kitchen facilities. The project will also include a new reception area to accommodate special events as well as a beautiful patio that will be dedicated to our Class of 2021. An engraved plaque celebrating our 2021 graduates will be a standout feature in the patio as surrounded by personalized decorative bricks, which will be available to all families. A second plaque featuring the participating Class of 2021 families will also be displayed in The ACK, our senior lounge, as has become an annual tradition for our senior classes.

We are hoping that we will garner 100 percent participation in our Senior Parent Legacy Fund at a giving level with which you are comfortable. For every gift of $500, you will receive a personalized brick engraved with the sentiments of your choice. Just imagine how special the patio will look with the Class of 2021 plaque surrounded by many of the names of our children!

Please help us honor the members of the Class of 2021 and their legacy at Hamden Hall. To purchase a brick please click here.

Feel free to reach out to our Senior Parent Committee Co-Chairs with any questions or contact the Office of Development and Alumni Relations at 203.752.2616.

Warmest Regards,

"Investing in our children’s education has always been a top priority for our family. As a Lifer, Luke has had the unique opportunity to be a part of a supportive and diverse community that teaches students to discover their strengths and use it to their full potential.

Through rigorous academics and a strong emphasis on character, Hamden Hall has helped Luke grow into a well-rounded, confident young man who values the importance of helping others and giving back to his community in order to make a difference!"

"Hamden Hall provided an environment that allowed Bella to thrive not only in the classroom but on the athletic fields. The small class sizes allowed for individual attention and extra help opportunities. Her college counselor (Mrs. Bird) provided excellent advice and made sure she was on track with her college application.
Hamden Hall is part of the reason why Bella got accepted to the School of Nursing and will be playing college lacrosse at Endicott College."

"4 years ago, Victoria had begun her education under the pines. Like a beloved home, Victoria has set her heart upon Hamden Hall. From day one, she has always dreamt about her future, constantly wondering where she would be after her adventure of high school years. Through these years, she has participated in a multicultural, interdisciplinary, and well-rounded learning environment that has greatly enhanced and clarified her future, ensuring a safe and pleasant trip into the unknown. We hope the hallmark of the Hamden Hall experience will serve as a launchpad for her college education and beyond."

“Andrew has gained so much from his time at Hamden Hall. He has been challenged academically and encouraged to explore his interests through participation in a wide range of activities, which has led him to develop a love of theater and music. Because Hamden Hall provided him with a nurturing environment in which to learn, he has gained confidence in himself and in his ideas and is well-prepared to take the next step in his education.”

“Choosing Hamden Hall for Michael's four years of high school is one of best decisions we have ever made. We have watched our son grow and flourish under the pines with the high academic and personal standards. Hamden Hall has held him to exceptionally high standards, while providing the nurturing support needed to achieve them. We couldn't be more grateful for his Hamden Hall Experience"

“We have seen Timi grow from that little boy in the playground in Pre-K to a talented young man at Hamden Hall. The school provided him with great mentorship that guided him through exploration of different spheres of life till he was able to find his own niche.
He now marches on to college with a clear focus, drive and assurance for success knowing fully well that a good foundation has been laid.
We remain grateful to Hamden hall for the role it has played in his growth thus far.”
