Giving
Welcome
Dear Friends,
The Hamden Hall community is clearly connected through vibrant relationships. As a newcomer to Hamden Hall, I have witnessed how the community of faculty, parents, alumni, past parents, grandparents, and friends spans decades and creates an integrally woven fabric of dynamic opportunity, personal growth, and academic excellence for students attending our beloved school.
As we all know, Hamden Hall educates the whole student. We value preparing students for college, and more importantly, preparing them for life! At the core of all learning is our shared desire to instill personal integrity, social responsibility, and a global perspective in each of our students.
Your philanthropic support helps students excel in academics, the arts, athletics, and in personal development. To continue weaving your connection into the exceptional Hamden Hall Experience, we are counting on you to Get Connected! Volunteer, lend us your expertise, visit us, and support the Hamden Hall Fund. It’s a privilege to join you in the connection that makes all the difference. Please consider a gift that is meaningful to you and give today!
